ByteDance Seed Introduces SeedRealtime: a Native Audio-Visual Full-Duplex LLM That Watches, Listens and Speaks in One Model

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 48

ByteDance’s Seed team released SeedRealtime, a native audio-visual full-duplex LLM that processes audio, video, and text in one end-to-end model and supports real-time continuous interaction. It is partially deployable because it is live inside the Doubao app, while ByteDance has provided no technical report, parameter count, or open weights. As a result, external teams can’t integrate the model yet, but Seed is offering a reference architecture shift away from cascaded ASR/VLM/TTS pipelines and external turn-taking components.

Hugging Face 2 months ago 36 ● 4 sources

Meta released Muse Glimmer, a multimodal 30B open-source model aimed at local agentic use cases like coding and document analysis. It was distilled from Muse to a 30B parameter model and released today under the Apache 2.0 license. Meta also shipped day-0 support in Transformers and llama.cpp (plus vLLM and Inference Endpoints), so developers can load and run it locally with standard tooling.
