Dessa: a conversation model trained only on speech

Original: Dessa: Conversation Model trained only on speech

Block's Dessa project has introduced a conversation model trained exclusively on speech, without text data. The approach is drawing attention among AI researchers and developers, who are debating whether speech-only training can capture language understanding that text-trained models get from written corpora, and what it means for more natural voice assistants.

Why now: Interest in new AI model architectures and whether speech-only training can rival text-based approaches.
