@kimmonismus: AI that listens while it talks

@kimmonismus wrote a useful explainer on 'full-duplex' voice AI, which keeps listening while it speaks so you can interrupt and correct it mid-answer, and rounded up who's building it, from OpenAI's GPT-Live to Thinking Machines and the open MiniCPM-o 4.5 model.

Why it mattersVoice agents that can be interrupted feel far more natural on the phone, which is what makes AI receptionists and booking lines usable. Worth watching if you take a lot of calls.
