Tavus, an AI research company, has developed a real-time conversational video agent achieving sub-1 second latency by optimizing their Phoenix-2 model architecture. Key innovations include switching from NeRF to Gaussian Splatting for 70+ fps generation, hyper-optimizing each component (vision, ASR, LLM, TTS), and implementing specialized end-of-turn detection to enable natural human-AI conversations.
