Nvidia Releases Open Model PersonaPlex, a Voice AI that Listens and Talks at the Same Time
Nvidia unveiled PersonaPlex, an open‑source 7 B parameter voice AI that can listen and speak simultaneously, delivering real‑time, natural conversations with customizable voices and roles via hybrid audio‑text prompts. By combining real and synthetic training data, the model learns nuanced behaviors like interruptions and confirming sounds, achieving a latency of just 0.07 seconds and a Dialog Naturalness MOS of 3.90, outperforming Google Gemini Live and other rivals. PersonaPlex’s hybrid prompt lets users define a voice sample and a textual role description, enabling use cases from banking assistants to emergency astronaut simulations. The code and weights are publicly released under an open license, marking the first open model to match the naturalness of closed commercial systems.
