A Conversational Speech Generation Model

I taught a speech model to understand context in conversation. This is what happenedIt adjusts voice and tone to express urgency, comfort, understanding from the dialogue. Just like a real human being520M model. Runs locally on consumer devicesHow this is achieved 🧵 pic.twitter.com/oMgSh2TKbO— Luozhu (@LuozhuZhang) February 27, 2026
Do language models accommodate their users? A study of linguistic convergence
While large language models (LLMs) are generally considered proficient in generating language, how similar their language usage is to that of humans remains understudied. In this paper, we test whether models exhibit linguistic convergence, a core pragmatic element of human language communication: do models adapt, or converge, to the linguistic patterns of their user? To answer this, we systematically compare model completions of existing dialogues to original human responses across sixteen language models, three dialogue corpora, and various stylometric features. We find that models strongly converge to the conversation's style, often significantly overfitting relative to the human baseline. While convergence patterns are often feature-specific, we observe consistent shifts in convergence across modeling settings, with instruction-tuned and larger models converging less than their pretrained and smaller counterparts. Given the differences in human and model convergence patterns, we hypothesize that the underlying mechanisms driving these behaviors are very different.

Large language model
A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate, and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots.[1] Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.[2]

Macaron-A2UI: A Model for Generative UI in Personal Agents
As personal agents evolve to handle complex, user-centric tasks, static plain-text chat is rapidly becoming a bottleneck. Generative UI emerges as the necessary new interface layer, dynamically synthesizing the right controls, options, and state from the interaction context in real time. We present Macaron-A2UI, a model for Generative UI in personal agents. Our goal is to move beyond text-only interaction by enabling agents to generate natural language together with lightweight, executable UI actions for information collection, preference refinement, confirmation, and multi-goal organization. We build a large-scale Generative UI corpus from heterogeneous dialogue sources, introduce A2UI-Bench for controlled evaluation, and train 30B, 235B and 754B models with parameter-efficient LoRA-based supervised fine-tuning followed by reward-driven reinforcement learning. The best Macaron-A2UI model reaches 75.6 overall on A2UI-Bench without explicit schema hints, surpassing the strongest full-schema frontier baseline. We release the models, benchmark, and evaluation protocol to support future work on Generative UI for personal agents.

I think of all of the AI / ML / CS tech out there, speech generation freaks me out the most.
