To understand why KAME is important, it helps to understand the two dominant designs it bridges.
A direct S2S model like Moshi (developed by KyutAI) is a monolithic transformer that takes in audio tokens and produces audio tokens in a continuous loop. Because it doesn t need to synchronize with external systems, its response latency is exceptionally low — for many queries, the model starts speaking before the user even finishes their question. But because acoustic signals are far information-denser than text, the model has to spend significant capacity modeling paralinguistic features like tone, emotion, and rhythm. That leaves less room for factual knowledge and deep reasoning.

What is Tokenization Drift and How to Fix It?
A model can behave perfectly one moment and degrade the next—without any change to your data, pipeline, or logic. The root cause often lies in something far more subtle: how your input is tokenized. Before a model processes text, it converts it into token IDs, and even minor form
