Muse can hear now - we launched Muse Voice Transcribe today! It is the first streaming audio perception model from MSL which does ASR, diarization and endpointing all in real-time. It supports hour-long audio, 20+ speakers, multilingual, seamless code-switching, and contextual biasing. We shared detailed design and what makes Muse Voice Transcribe different from other real-time voice models in our blog post. We give full control on when and how long to listen to audio back to the model. And with RL, it learns “adaptive delay” to wait longer only on a few hard words. This is one of the key contributions to achieving the new pareto frontier on speed/accuracy trade-off. Muse Voice Transcribe is available today via Meta Model API, Meta AI for Mac, and Muse Code. Please give it a try and let us know how you like it: research.meta.ai/blog/introd…

Introducing Voice. Talk to your Muse and Muse talks back, so you can go from “what should I cook?” to cooking, just like that ✨

it’s always felt like OpenAI is too focused on winning San Francisco. meanwhile, their competitor Muse is sweeping the rest of the nation and sitting at the top of the app store. this demo is a perfect example of this. every tech leader wants to show agents booking flights. but more than half of Americans don’t even fly once in a given year. so the primary agent example we keep showing simply doesn’t resonate with half the country. agent demos should focus on the basics: tax filing, chasing down shipping returns, clearing out inboxes, and bill paying. every day stuff. sf is very important. especially if you want to win developers. i understand that. but Meta is looking like geniuses focusing on everyone else. and everyone else is a pretty big market. it's the largest one.
dots demo. Now... with better WiFi.

The concept of “voice interaction” sounds like a natural next step for personal agents. But in order to make it happen, it has to be orders of magnitude more convenient than typing. The technology is there, however the user experience is still far from close unfortunately. There is a lot of opportunities there similar to what happened with @Muse :)
Or you just type "flight sfo to lax tomorrow" into your search box and be done in 30 seconds. But, yeah, you can totes blabber for 5 minutes too if that makes you happy. Also: I love AI agents. But can we FUCKING PLEASE find a use case that isn't flights/restaurants/weddings?

Nice work pioneering real-time videogen.
Muse Realtime Voice is an absolute beast. Agentic voice is a whole new level of difficulty. At @AIatMeta we have stellar folks pushing the frontier: @Yukuwu 👑, @ankurbpn 🐐, Johan Schalkwyk 🫡, @mhnt1580 , @clover_chang_ + an incredible team of engineers. A lot more coming 🚀🎤

We are shipping voice to Muse! Voice is just a much more natural and faster way to communicate compared to typing. You'll be able to talk to it from wherever you want: from desktop, from mobile, and from the glasses. It's been such an amazing journey, and I'm super proud of the team for delivering this!
Replying to @finkd
Muse, your personal agent, now has voice and real-time video. You can have long conversations and Muse will work in the background and get things done for you as you're talking. We're also bringing Muse to glasses so you can talk hands-free throughout the day.
