NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B puts a Fast Conformer speech encoder in front of Nemotron Nano v2 9B and an NVIDIA TTS decoder behind it, collapsing the ASR→LLM→TTS cascade into one model. ~450ms on smooth turn-taking, 480ms on user interruption, #2 among open full-duplex models on VoiceBench, OpenMDW 1.1 license. The genuinely new part is a separate output channel emitting tool-call scripts while audio keeps flowing, with configurable on-hold phrases the agent speaks during tool execution. (Hugging Face)
