Description

Dessa is an innovative speech-to-speech AI model developed by Block, specifically designed for exploring conversational voice technologies and their various applications. This model uniquely processes audio inputs and generates audio outputs directly, bypassing the need for an intermediary text conversion. Instead of relying on text as a foundation, it has been built from the ground up using actual human conversations, enabling it to facilitate full-duplex communication, where it can listen and speak simultaneously. Designed to operate locally on advanced hardware like the MacBook Pro equipped with an M4 Max chip or superior, Dessa effectively captures nuanced conversational elements such as emotions, sarcasm, laughter, pauses, and turn-taking, which are often diminished in text-based communication systems. Aimed primarily at AI safety researchers and developers, it serves as a powerful tool for examining voice model dynamics, privacy implications, and the intricacies of real-time interactions. Importantly, Dessa is not intended for general business use or as a hosted voice-agent solution, marking its specific role in the realm of research and development within the voice technology landscape. This specificity underscores its potential to deepen understanding of voice interactions and inform future AI advancements.

Description

Guide Labs is focused on creating a groundbreaking series of interpretable AI systems and foundational models that can be easily debugged, trusted, and comprehended by humans. Our models are specifically designed to yield factors that are understandable to humans for every output, along with reliable context citations and clear indications of the training data that impacts the generated results. This innovative approach seeks to resolve the shortcomings found in contemporary AI systems, which frequently produce explanations that are disconnected from the outputs, lack effective debugging capabilities, and present challenges in terms of control and alignment. The team at Guide Labs consists of professionals with more than two decades of expertise in the field of interpretable machine learning. We have pioneered the first interpretable generative diffusion model as well as a large language model, marking significant advancements in this area. Our efforts involve a complete reevaluation of the model architecture, loss function, and overall pipeline to refine the model training process, resulting in models that are not only more understandable but also allow for easier identification and rectification of errors, as well as enhanced alignment with human expectations. Ultimately, our mission is to bridge the gap between AI complexity and human comprehension, fostering a more robust interaction with artificial intelligence.
