# Launa-Omni

Salesforce AI Research has built Launa-Omni, a voice model for real-time enterprise conversation that keeps speech and language in one audio-adapted text model and uses a separate in-house text-to-speech model to speak the reply. Unlike pipelines that chain speech recognition, a language model and speech generation, speech is not transcribed before reasoning, so pace, hesitation and emphasis survive the first handoff. The model is significantly smaller than several larger voice models and reports competitive results on spoken instruction following, multi-turn dialogue and customer-service tasks; a simplified version already powers Slack's voice dictation.
