Introducing Jarvis Bench v0.5, Voice Arena's conversational agent benchmark. We've been obsessed with one question at VoiceArena: why do voice agent demos sound incredible, benchmarks say models are near-perfect, and yet you probably didn't have a single real conversation with a voice agent in the last 24 hours? Here's...

The first board is Naturalness: how much each call sounds like a real human conversation. The human agent sits at 1244 Elo. Every model is a wide gap below the human: › gpt-realtime 984 (-260) › Gemini 3.1 Flash Live 970 (-274) › GPT Live 1 967 (-277) › Grok Voice 920 (-324) › Inworld cascaded 915 (-329) The best model wins just 18% of blind calls against a human. No model is above 18%. Sounding human is where the gap is still widest.

Read every pair head to head and the same thing holds. The human agent is favoured against every single model: 82% against gpt-realtime, and up to 87% against Grok Voice and Inworld. The models sit within 60-40 of each other, so the race between them is close. The race against a person is not: none has crossed 50% yet.

Here's one of those calls: gpt-realtime, our top model on Humanness, next to a real caller, on a gift-budget question. Same conversation, side by side. Play it and see how far 18% actually sounds.

On Task Completion, though, it's a different story, the gap is much closer. Votes are still coming in and we will keep updating the leaderboard. This is a work in progress. Tag the model labs you would like to see added to this benchmark.

@voicearena_ai yes, I suspect voice benchmarks are going to become much more multidimensional than text benchmarks.

@voicearena_ai most systems are trained to sound like polished audiobook narrators. real human dialogue is messy, with false starts and micro-interruptions. until models learn acoustic imperfection, that naturalness gap stays wide open

@voicearena_ai Demos and clean benchmarks fail the same way: they never see barge-in on dirty audio mid-tool-call. Blind human ratings on real conversations is the right bar. Task completion without sounding robotic is the harder half.

@voicearena_ai I think real conversations are a much better test than demos.

@voicearena_ai blind votes are closer to the real test than a transcript score. the failure mode is usually turn-taking and recovery after a bad ASR guess, not the first answer.

Introducing PhoneLLM, an open model for voice agents. GPT 5.6 Terra performance on typical voice agent tasks at 1/3 the latency and 1/18 the cost. For voice agents, we need models that are both very low latency and very good at tool calling and instruction following. There's a trade-off here, and we often have to compromise on either latency or capability when building voice agents. With PhoneLLM (and the training and data stack that made this model possible) we're fixing this problem. For the last couple of years, most of the effort in frontier model development has gone towards leveraging test-time compute. Which is awesome! Models of all shapes and sizes are available that perform really, really well ... if you have "thinking" turned on for your model. But if you need your agent to respond at voice conversation speed, you can't use thinking models. PhoneLLM is a full-weights fine-tune of NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 30B. We trained on a wide range of real-world telephone and customer support use cases. The training focused on taking the excellent Nano 30B base capabilities and teaching the model to do typical voice agent tasks with thinking disabled. The results are really good: accurate tool calling and concise, on-topic responses in long conversations. And fast: TTFAT measured server-side is <100ms if you run PhoneLLM on a lightly loaded B200. :-) But seriously, when we characterize model latency, we do it with full, end-to-end, batched request simulations using real Pipecat voice agent pipelines. You can serve more than 80 concurrent agents on a single B200 with P95 end-to-end TTFAT <600ms. Including network overhead. That's an LLM cost-per-minute around $0.0025. (1/4 of a cent.) At a latency lower than any third-party API offers today. More details about this model, including weights on Hugging Face, how to spin it up with one click on Modal, and a starter project repo you can clone, are in the thread ...

Learn to build conversational AI voice agents in "Building AI Voice Agents for Production", created in collaboration with LiveKit and RealAvatar, and taught by dsa (Co-founder & CEO of LiveKit), Shayne (Developer Advocate, LiveKit), and Nedelina Teneva (Head of AI at RealAvatar, an AI Fund portfolio company). Voice agents combine speech and reasoning capabilities to enable real-time conversations. They're already being used to support customer service, to improve accessibility in healthcare, for entertainment applications, and for talk therapy. In this course, you’ll learn to build voice agents that listen, reason, and respond naturally. You’ll follow the architecture used to create the "AI Andrew" Avatar, a collaborative project between and RealAvatar that responds to users in what sounds like my voice. You’ll build a voice agent from scratch and deploy it to the cloud, enabling support for many simultaneous users. What you’ll learn: - Understand the fundamentals of voice agents, including key components like speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and LLMs, and how latency is introduced at each layer. - Explore voice agent architectures and the trade-offs between modular pipelines and speech-to-speech APIs. - Explore how platforms like LiveKit mitigate latency issues with optimized networking infrastructure and low-latency communication protocols. - Learn how to connect client devices to voice agents using WebRTC—and why it outperforms HTTP and WebSocket for low-latency audio streaming. - Incorporate voice activity detection (VAD), end-of-turn detection, and context management to detect turns, handle interruptions, and manage conversational flow. - Understand the trade-offs between latency, quality, and cost in an example in which you build a voice agent and change its voice. - Equip your agent with metrics to measure latency at each stage of the voice pipeline and learn the key levers you can pull to make your agent faster and more responsive. The voice agents built in this course also incorporate voice technology from , a supporting contributor to the project. By the end of this course, you'll have learned the components of an AI voice agent pipeline, combined them into a system with low-latency communication, and deployed them on cloud infrastructure so it scales to many users. I’m looking forward to seeing what voice agents you build from this course! Please sign up here:

Introducing LobeHub: Agent teammates that grow with you. LobeHub is the ultimate space for work and life: to find, build, and collaborate with agent teammates that grow with you. We’re building the world’s first and largest human–agent co-evolving network. Two years ago, we built LobeChat, an open-source interface for using different AI models. Today, LobeChat has 70k+ GitHub stars and serves 6M+ users worldwide. How to fully unlock the power of models has always been a shared mission between us and the community. We started with interaction — a fundamentally new, agent-first experience. Agents are no longer passive tools invoked in a single conversation. They should be proactive, always-on units of work. Treating agents as the minimal atomic unit is also the core of our agent harness infra. Today’s agents are mostly one-off executors. Even with memory, it’s often global — and hallucinates. We build long-term agent teammates that evolve with users. Each agent has its own dedicated memory space, editable by users, allowing humans and agents to co-evolve over time. This, in turn, allows us to design clearer rewards for reinforcement learning and create cleaner environments for continual learning. Agent teammates can work in groups. Through a multi-agent system, agent groups operate faster, more cost-effective, and go beyond what single-agent systems can achieve. For example, a single agent often requires heavy user involvement to proceed step by step, whereas LobeHub can execute the same work from a single instruction, with a supervisor orchestrating agents that run in parallel or debate to produce better results. We are building the collaboration network among agent teammates — and between humans and agent teammates as well. Ease of use matters. AI intelligence and shared human intelligence are equally important. With simple instructions and tool selection, you can effortlessly build and team up with agent coworkers to deliver complex, systematic work — even assembling a quant team to execute trades. Through the LobeHub community, anyone can discover, reuse, and remix agents and agent groups, customizing them to fit their own workflows, preferences, and needs. Last but not least, our vision started with LobeChat: multi-model support is the most efficient approach for users. We believe different models excel in different scenarios. By routing across multiple models, LobeHub improves cost efficiency and unlocks capabilities that a single-model setup cannot easily support.

Cerebras inference is very fast. So fast that it changes how we think about configuring our LLMs for voice agent use cases. Kimi K2.6 is a 1T parameter reasoning model that Cerebras serves at 650 - 1,000 tokens per second (end-to-end throughput), with time to first token metrics as low as 150ms (latency). These numbers are two to three times faster than other similarly capable models. The biggest lever we get from this kind of speed is that we can use the model in reasoning mode, and still have excellent "time to first non-thinking token." This solves a big pain point we have in 2026 for voice agent use cases. Almost all recent innovation in post-training has focused on making models good at reasoning ("test time compute"). This is great, but it makes the user-facing model latency much, much slower. Which is a problem for conversational voice agents. We can run Kimi K2.6 with reasoning turned on, and get responses faster than other models produce with reasoning disabled. On my 30-turn voice agent benchmark, Kimi K2.6 with reasoning enabled ties GPT 5.1 and Haiku 4.5 with reasoning disabled, and is still about 200ms seconds faster! On my primary task agent benchmark, Kimi K2.6 is now the #2 model. It ranks just behind Gemini 3.5 Flash in "high" reasoning mode, and tied with GLM 5, Sonnet 4.6, and GPT 5.4 with reasoning set to "low." But Kimi K2.6 completes each turn in the agent loop in under 500ms. The other four models are all at least 3x slower. (Models only qualify for this benchmark if they can complete task turns at a P50 <4s.) A couple of other things that this speed buys us, for production voice agents: - Tool calls happen fast enough that we don't have to work around tool call latency in our pipeline design. - We can prompt the model to output structured data at the beginning of a response, followed by plain text for voice generation. This opens up possibilities like asking the model to do complex classification/generation tasks that influence the rest of the pipeline. For example, the model could create a detailed style prompt for a steerable TTS model, for each individual conversation turn. And, of course, you can use Kimi K2.6 with reasoning turned off. Cerebras calls this "instant" mode. Here's a video of a Cerebras Kimi K2.6 voice agent with voice-to-voice response time, measured at the client, under 500ms. This is the true response latency as perceived by the user, including all network and audio codec overhead, transcription and turn detection, Kimi K2.6 token generation, and voice generation. 500ms is, effectively, instant. So the Cerebras naming for this mode is a propos. :-)
