Nuance AI launches Nuplex model and Emma AI video-chat persona
Overview
Nuance AI introduces Nuplex, a full-duplex audiovisual foundation model, and Emma, an AI persona built on it that users can video chat with.
Nuance AI says Nuplex processes incoming audio and video while generating speech and facial expressions, so Emma reacts while the user is still speaking, and uses visual cues to signal when it is her turn to talk.
TestingCatalog reports that Nuance Labs has launched Emma as a free character. It says that in Nuance Labs' tests on 1,785 recorded questions, Nuplex matched a human's response time in 89% of cases. Rohan Paul reports the same 89% figure and says Emma's face and voice come from a real actress who recorded how she listens, reacts and speaks for the model.
