Jack Dorsey's Block has released Dessa, a full-duplex speech model trained entirely on human speech on a single Nvidia GPU, running locally on consumer hardware. Unlike rivals that bolt emotion on with voice tags, Dessa builds nuance into the voice itself. No public access yet, and Block has asked safety researchers to test whether it can deceive callers. https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/24/blocks-new-voice-model-sounds-eerily-human/ #Tech #Startup #News #AI
