The GPT-4o represents a significant milestone in enabling real-time interaction with large language models (LLMs) through speech, its remarkable low latency and high fluency not only capture attention but also stimulate research interest in the field. This real-time speech interaction is particularly valuable in scenarios requiring rapid feedback and immediate responses, dramatically enhancing user experience. However, there is a notable lack of research focused on real-time large speech language models, particularly for Chinese. In this work, we present KE-Omni, a seamless large speech language model built upon Ke-SpeechChat, a large-scale high-quality synthesized speech interaction dataset consisting of 7 million Chinese and English conversations, featuring 42,002 speakers, and totaling over 60,000 hours, This contributes significantly to the advancement of research and development in this field. Furthermore, we plan to release the code and models after a thorough risk assessment.
KE-Omni comprises three main components: a speech encoder, a large language model(LLM), and a speech decoder.

User: What's the best way to store different types of garden produce to keep them fresh for as long as possible?
Agent: To keep your garden produce fresh, it's best to store each type according to its specific needs. For example, leafy greens like lettuce and spinach should be kept in a cool, humid environment, while root vegetables like carrots and potatoes prefer a cooler, drier place. Berries and stone fruits do well in the refrigerator, but tomatoes should be stored at room temperature. Make sure to avoid storing ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas with sensitive vegetables, as this can cause premature ripening.
