In the application of artificial intelligence, achieving real-time interaction with AI has always been a significant challenge for developers and researchers. Among these challenges, integrating multimodal information (such as text, images, and audio) to form a coherent dialogue system is particularly complex. Although advanced large language models like GPT-4 have made some progress, many AI systems still struggle with achieving smoothness in real-time conversations, context awareness, and multimodal understanding, which limits their effectiveness in practical applications.

As a leader in global language artificial intelligence, DeepL has recently launched a brand new real-time voice translation tool — DeepL Voice, aimed at promoting seamless communication between different languages. DeepL is valued at $2 billion, and its leadership in language solutions for both enterprises and individuals cannot be underestimated. DeepL Voice is the company's first product focused on voice translation, going beyond its renowned text translation service to enable real-time translation for multilingual interaction in both face-to-face and virtual scenarios.

In today's wave of technology, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important part of our lives. However, fast, efficient, and real-time interactions remain a significant challenge. The issue of latency, which refers to the time difference between input and response, often slows down the experience of customer service robots and virtual assistants, affecting user satisfaction. To address this gap, Standard Intelligence Lab has recently launched Hertz-Dev, an open-source audio model with 850 million parameters.

Google AI Studio and Gemini API have recently launched the 'Real-Time Connection with Google Search' feature, aimed at helping developers improve the accuracy of AI model responses by integrating real-time data from Google Search. With this update, the Gemini 1.5 model can retrieve the latest information from Google Search, enhancing the accuracy and transparency of responses. Developers can directly access this feature in the 'Tools' section of Google AI Studio or in the Gemini API.

In today's rapidly developing artificial intelligence landscape, the phenomenon of AI 'hallucinations' has become increasingly frequent, causing significant inconvenience for many companies. Customer service chatbots confidently describe non-existent products, financial AIs fabricate market data, and medical bots provide dangerous medical advice.
