The researchers engineered their system to produce & interpret sounds much like we do. They first built a model of the human vocal tract that simulates how vibrations from the voice box are shaped by the throat, tongue, & lips. Then, they used a cognitively-inspired AI algorithm

Linear Attention: Scaling LLMs Beyond Transformer Limitations
By
–
LLMs rely heavily on transformers, which make use of an "attention mechanism" for modeling interactions among inputs. But this attention mechanism is inefficient and thus difficult to scale to longer contexts. Because of this, researchers have been experimenting w/"linear
