Also a speech to speech model it can't do any tool use or you can't guide it much am I mistaken? How will it be used for agentic uses is the part I don't get. Edit: this is response from Argon if anyone was also curious: You are not mistaken about Dessa: because it was trained solely on raw audio with zero text data, it cannot read text system prompts or output code for tool calls on its own. To use it as an agent, developers must either steer it purely through spoken voice instructions or pair it as a conversational "voice front-end" alongside a separate text LLM that listens to the audio and executes the tools in the background.
