Block's full-duplex, zero-text Dessa voice AI demos, Mac M4 Max checker & live testing
Dessa Voice AI is an interactive hub showcasing Block's breakthrough full-duplex, zero-text speech-to-speech model. Processing raw audio-in to audio-out without text intermediates, Dessa captures natural turn-taking, interruptions, laughter, and backchanneling. Users can listen to 6 synchronized two-track official demos, run the Mac M4 Max Readiness Checker to verify Apple silicon unified memory compatibility for local inference, and practice real-time voice conversations in the browser. Built for AI developers, researchers, and audio engineers, it also features architectural benchmarks comparing Block Dessa against Sesame CSM, OpenAI GPT-Live-1, and Kyutai Moshi—all free with no login required.
