Block's Dessa speech model runs on a laptop, but isn't out to try yet
Block's AI lab has released Dessa, a full-duplex speech-to-speech model trained only on human conversation audio. It reportedly runs locally on a high-end MacBook Pro M4 Max. Block has not published its size, benchmarks or model weights, so ordinary users cannot download or test it yet.
How to try it
Nothing to try yet: the story says no weights or benchmarks were published. Watch Block's official website for a public release before you look for it.
