Things I love: 1. Start and stop button. I love this explicit control over who is talking when. 2. Ability to upload files while the voice chat is going. Great idea. Often times I use gpt voice chat for studying, and it's annoying when I need to add another PDF to the context, since I need to stop the chat, upload, and then restart the voice session. 3. Real-time text display during voice chat. I asked you to take the derivative of a function I described, and it outlined its steps, but it wasn't just the transcription of what it was saying. Things I hate: 1. The transcription is terrible. It took me 10 tries during the conversation to describe f(x) = x^2. Looking back on the transcriptions, it's literally nonsense. 2. There was a buggy moment when the voice conversation started but it was still demoing all the voice options simultaneously. Need some polishing.

Yet, using Abacus.AIs mobile app, you do not need a.. talk.. no talk UI control. It detects when you interject. Would be a nice feature for Claude as well.

  But does the bot know not to interject if I pause to think?

    Essentially, yes. From Abacus: I try to strike a balance. If it seems like you might be gathering your thoughts, I usually wait a bit to give you space, but I'm also here to prompt or help if needed. If you ever feel like I'm jumping in too soon, just let me know!

      That's impressive if it's actually able to adjust its own thresholds so that I can tell it to modify its behavoir (rather like Interstellar's Tars being told to adjust its humor and honesty parameters). Without using Abacus I have a hunch that it's just telling you its capable of that. LLM's in general know very little about themselves, only what they're told in the system prompt. But system prompt could include tool use that alters its own behavior.

I thought transcription was a solved problem now. I run whisper at home and it's blazing fast and accurate with the large model <3. If anthropic is much worse they need to up their game. Or just use Whisper until they do.
