Dessa: a conversation model trained only on speech
Original: Dessa: Conversation Model trained only on speech
Block, the payments company led by Jack Dorsey, has introduced Dessa, an AI conversation model trained exclusively on speech rather than text. The release is drawing attention among AI researchers and enthusiasts because it departs from the standard pipeline of text-trained language models, raising questions about how well voice-only training captures reasoning, nuance and conversational quality compared with mainstream assistants.
Why now: A major company released an unusually designed AI model, prompting debate about whether speech-only training can match text-based approaches.
