Tencent's Gander aims to keep talking while it works in the background

Tencent has introduced Gander, an AI model designed to maintain continuous speech while simultaneously performing complex background tasks like coding or file searching. By utilizing a modular architecture with a dedicated component for conversation, the system allows users to interrupt or adjust ongoing processes without disrupting the interaction. This development addresses a common limitation in AI assistants, where task execution often forces a pause in user communication.
