HOW DIFFUPLEX WORKS

One set of parameters. Two modes.

AR=when to say

Listen continuously. Decide when to speak or stop.

Diffusion=what to say

Generate in parallel. Speak while refining the rest.

Listen → Trigger → Commit a prefix → Speak & refine

INTELLIGENCE MEETS FLUIDITY

Intelligence, at diffusion speed.

VoiceBench intelligence score

+22.3 points over FLAIR, the highest-scoring full-duplex baseline in this comparison.

VoiceBench versus first-audio latency, zero-based score axis. Diffuplex: 82.3 at 0.396 s; FLAIR: 60.0 at 0.33; Nemotron-VC: 58.1 at 0.448; Freeze-Omni: 55.2 at 0.953; Lychee-FD: 43.5 at 0.84; SALM-Duplex: 39.0 at 0.55; PersonaPlex: 30.6 at 0.07; Moshi: 29.5 at 0.265.
Higher is smarter. Further left is faster.
From response modeling to full duplex.

VoiceBench: 86.9 with thinking, 84.1 without thinking at the end of Stage 2, and 82.3 after full-duplex adaptation. The Fisher policy improves response timing while retaining the same full-duplex intelligence score.
