French open source AI research laboratory Kyutai recently launched a multimodal model called Moshi. This innovative achievement not only marks a major technological breakthrough, but also a bold exploration of the current field of artificial intelligence. Moshi's release demonstrates the huge potential of AI technology in voice interaction and real-time reasoning, bringing a new experience to AI enthusiasts around the world.
In the early morning of July 4, Kyutai officially announced the birth of Moshi through its official website. This model has the same functionality as OpenAI's GPT-4o, and can perform real-time Q&A through voice. However, unlike GPT-4o's voice mode that needs to wait until fall to be fully opened, Moshi has been open to the public, which makes it a premiere in the market.
Moshi's main features include its multimodal ability, that is, it is able to listen to user's voice questions and conduct real-time inference answers. In addition, Moshi's voice mode has been fully opened, and compared with GPT-4o's autumn launch plan, Moshi provides users with a faster experience. More importantly, Moshi has no regional restrictions, and can be used by users around the world, and supports mobile phones. Although the support for Mandarin is not yet perfect, English questions are completely accessible.
Kyutai also plans to open source Moshi, and will publish code, model weights and papers. This move not only reflects Kyutai's persistence in the open source spirit, but also provides developers and researchers around the world with opportunities to participate in Moshi development and optimization.
Moshi's release is undoubtedly a bold attempt to AI technology. It not only has the ability to listen and speak, but may also show the ability to see in the future, which makes us look forward to the future of AI. The process of using Moshi is very simple. Just log in to the official website, fill in your email address, and click to join to start a conversation with Moshi.
It is worth mentioning that Moshi's support for Mandarin needs to be improved, and asking questions in English will give you a better experience. In addition, Moshi is not locked and can be used directly no matter where you are, which undoubtedly provides great convenience for AI enthusiasts around the world.
This move by Kyutai Laboratory also shows their persistence in the open source spirit. They plan to open source Moshi soon, publish code, model weights and papers, so that developers and researchers around the world can participate in Moshi's development and optimization.
In terms of usage experience, Moshi's response speed is extremely fast, and even when used on national routes, it can respond to questions with almost no delay. Currently, Moshi mainly supports English and French, and Chinese Mandarin support needs to be improved. The registration process is simple, just submit your email address. Moshi demonstrates the ability to listen and speak, and may also increase the ability to watch in the future. Moshi's anthropomorphic tone is one of its major features, with very little machine smell, which makes the conversation experience more natural and smooth.
Of course, Moshi's current answers are still relatively limited and can only provide a general outline and summary. But with the continuous iteration and optimization of the products, we believe that Moshi's answer will become more detailed and accurate.
In addition, Moshi's release will have a profound impact on the education industry. For example, AI can provide students with circular explanations, which is huge for education. We look forward to more similar products in the future, supporting more local languages, and making AI technology closer to people's lives.
