Definition
Moshi is an advanced AI model created by Kyutai that integrates speech and text processing into a unified framework. Unlike traditional systems that convert speech to text before processing, Moshi learns joint representations of both modalities directly. This allows for more natural, real-time conversational abilities with prosody and emotional nuance preserved. It represents a significant step towards building AI agents that can interact with humans through voice as naturally as through text, enhancing applications in customer service and companion technologies.
