About
Dessa is Block's speech-to-speech artificial intelligence model for conversational voice research and applications. It takes audio input and produces audio output directly, without converting speech into text as an intermediate step. Trained from scratch on human conversation rather than text, the model supports full-duplex interaction, listening and speaking at the same time, and runs locally on a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max chip or better. It captures conversational cues such as emotion, sarcasm, laughter, pauses, and turn-taking that can be lost in text-based pipelines. Dessa is intended for AI safety researchers and developers studying voice-model behavior, privacy, and real-time interaction. It is a speech model for research and development, not a general-purpose business application or hosted voice-agent platform.

About
Seeduplex is a native full-duplex speech large language model built on a new “listen while speaking” framework for more natural, fluid, and precisely paced voice interaction. Unlike traditional half-duplex systems that alternate between listening and replying, it continuously receives and understands user-side audio, allowing it to listen and speak simultaneously while tracking the broader acoustic environment. Its high-precision interference suppression distinguishes genuine user interaction from background noise, broadcasts, navigation prompts, side conversations, and overlapping voices, reducing false responses and false interruptions in complex settings. Seeduplex also combines speech and semantic features for adaptive endpoint detection, helping it recognize when a user is thinking, hesitating, correcting themselves, or has actually finished speaking. It can wait patiently through reflective pauses, respond quickly once an utterance ends, and stop smoothly when interrupted.
