Japanese AI lab Shizuku AI has released Shizuku-Duplex, a full-duplex model it describes as only the second of its kind after GPT-Live to support intelligent Japanese conversation—one that can begin thinking before a question is fully asked. Among the six models tested, Shizuku-Duplex ranked highest for naturalness in Japanese conversation, with response quality second only to OpenAI's GPT-Live. The model comprises two parts—a front-end interaction layer and a back-end—supplemented by context compression every five minutes. It operates on 80ms interaction frames and supports three output types: audio, text (the model's internal monologue), and actions. Building on this technology, Shizuku AI is developing "Shizuku," a companion-style AI that listens continuously, responds to users' feelings, and openly expresses feelings of its own.
