Summary
SpeechGym is a new framework that trains voice agents entirely through speech using reinforcement learning, avoiding reliance on text-based methods or costly proprietary APIs. It allows gradients to flow and supports on-policy learning, improving voice agent performance in multi-turn spoken dialogu...

What happened
Voice agents must call tools and hold multi-turn dialogue entirely through speech, yet the dominant paradigm trains them in text. Existing frameworks either cascade TTS and ASR around a proprietary voice API, where gradients cannot flow and per-call cost makes on-policy reinforcement learning prohibitive, or stay...
Why it matters
Current voice agent training methods either depend on text or expensive, non-differentiable APIs, limiting their ability to improve through reinforcement learning. SpeechGym's audio-native approach offers a more direct and efficient way to train voice agents in realistic spoken interactions.
