Tencent has introduced Gander, an open-source AI model that can engage in voice conversations while performing tasks in the background. The model uses a two-part architecture, dubbed Cerebellum-Brain, to enable seamless interaction. Gander's code and model weights have been made available under an Apache 2.0 license, allowing others to build upon and modify the technology. However, setting up the full system requires significant computational resources, including three graphics cards and substantial memory.
