Paper summary
a model architecture for low-latency speech interaction with LLMs; it is based on Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct and can simultaneously generate both text and speech responses given speech instructions; responses can be generated with a response latency as low as 226ms; architecture-wise, it involves a speech encoder (Whispter-large-v3), a speech adaptor, an LLM, and a speech decoder; they also created a dataset of 200K speech interactions and responses.
