We just gave AI the ability to know exactly when to speak. No wakewords. No cameras. 100% local. Yesterday, two voice agents sat in a meeting on our laptops, catching and answering questions in real-time. They’re not 'human-level' remote colleagues quite yet (some OpenAI API latency), but its a start. Our tiny Selective Auditory Attention (SAA) engine drops into any device—even smart glasses—plugs into any LLM with one Python line, and helps voice agents follow real-life group conversations. Conversation capabilities • 97% accuracy picking the right speaker(s) within 5 meters • Waits its turn, speaks at the right time. • Ignore irrelevant prompts—no false triggers. Engine specs • 10x smaller & faster than multimodal SOTA • Only 400k params, processing stays on-device • Works with OpenAI, Gemini, or your own model We're excited to participate in this next wave of natural human-machine collaboration. Join the wait-list for the SDK (first comment). Tag someone who could use this to build the next killer voice agent. 👇 #VoiceAI #EdgeAI #LLM #FutureOfWork #AudioTech
You will hear a lot about attention labs in the future!
David Joohun Kim Impressive evolution. Shifting intelligence to the edge while sustaining such high accuracy directly tackles core privacy and latency challenges that have long held back conversational AI. It’s a foundational step that unlocks a whole new frontier for wearables, ambient interfaces, and assistive tech—where devices aren’t just smart, but truly contextually aware.
Amazing work guys!
Congrats on this launch, David! I continue to be impressed and inspired by the grit and determination of you and the team!
This is really impressive and is going to lead to very natural human/computer interfaces. Rupert - you might find this interesting.
Huge respect—finally a voice system that listens and knows when not to speak. 👏
Love the privacy-first approach. Congrats!
This is were a lot of voice activated AI fails. Sounds great!
