alt Hacker NewsI tried talking to Claude today. What a nightmare. It constantly interrupts you. I don’t mind if Claude wants to spend ten seconds thinking about its reply, but at least let ME finish my thought. Without decent turn-taking, the AI seems impolite and it’s just an icky experience. I hope tech like this gets widely distributed soon because there are so many situations in which I would love to talk with a model. If only it worked.

Agreed. English is not my native language. And I do speak it well, it's just that sometimes I need a second to think mid-sentence. None of the live chat models out there handle this well. Claude just starts answering before I've even had the chance to finish a sentence.
Anthropic doesn't have any realtime multimodal audio models available, they just use STT and TTS models slapped on top of Claude. So they are currently the worst provider if you actually want to use voice communication.
