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.

Who we are

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.

Our team is entirely based in Paris but we are open to discussion for exceptional talents across Europe.
