FlashLabs open-sources Chroma 1.0 for real-time voice chat
FlashLabs just open-sourced Chroma 1.0, a 4B end-to-end spoken dialogue model that directly understands audio inputs and replies with natural speech in real time. Built on Qwen2.5-Omni and Llama 3 under an Apache-2.0 license, it skips traditional TTS pipelines and supports instant voice cloning with a short audio prompt. It currently supports English and is hosted on Hugging Face.
