Technical Staff

Led by world-class scientists, Kyutai conducts cutting-edge research, focusing in particular on multimodal, adaptable and compact models. Accelerating its daring journey, Kyutai is now seeking outstanding researchers to develop impact-driven projects in fields like generative modeling for language and speech, video understanding, and world models.

Kyutai is a non-profit lab dedicated to open research in Artificial Intelligence. Our team is laser-focused on few, high-impact projects in frontier AI. Less than 2 years after its start, Kyutai has already delivered several ground-breaking models: Moshi, the first full‑duplex voice AI allowing natural spoken dialogue with latency under 200ms and no imposed speaker turns; Helium‑1, a very compact and powerful multi‑lingual open language model; Hibiki, the first voice‑to‑voice simultaneous translation model that preserves voice and can run on a mobile; MoshiVis, the first visual‑speech model to allow natural spoken dialogue around visual content; Unmute, a voice AI that empowers any text LLM with voice, instantly, by wrapping it with Kyutai's streaming speech‑to‑text and text‑to‑speech.
