Could you build this?
No A full-duplex speech-to-speech model trained only on audio is novel research requiring large datasets, substantial GPU training, and specialized ML expertise. Vibe coding can't substitute for any of that.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a large corpus of conversational audio, a neural architecture for streaming full-duplex speech (such as a codec-token language model with turn-taking), and serious GPU training budgets. The team needs ML researchers and infrastructure engineers, plus evaluation tooling for latency and conversational quality.
