Sessions
Large Language Models are great at writing and chatting, but are they also able to talk like a human? Today, modern LLM-based voice bots can listen to users, talk back to them with a realistic voice, handle interruptions and improvise, while sticking to the goal they're given by their builders. And this is not only true for the latest, eye-watering expensive OpenAI's models! In this session we will learn how modern voice bots are made, which open source tools are available to build them, and we are going to see in practice how to build one. At the end of the session, the demo's full source code will be shared with the audience.
