We were investigating speech-to-speech for a project before and estimated that creating an end to end solution with the previous method would take us weeks at best for the MVP (because the pipeline was basically: speech -> whisper STT model -> text, retrieval, API calls, etc. -> prompt -> LLM -> text -> TTS model -> speech). If this works as advertised it could cut the amount of work required quite significantly, excited to try it out (when it’s available in Europe that is…).
