F-Actor: Controllable Conversational Behaviour in Full-Duplex Models

ArXi:2601.11329v3 Announce Type: replace Spoken conversational systems require than accurate speech generation to have human-like conversations: to feel natural and engaging, they must produce conversational behaviour that adapts dynamically to the context. Current spoken conversational systems, however, rarely allow such customization, limiting their naturalness and usability. In this work, we present the first open, instruction-following full-duplex conversational speech model that can be trained efficiently under typical academic resource constraints.
