Full-Duplex Speech Models Take the Floor When Asked, Not When Needed

Full‑duplex speech models can listen and speak simultaneously, but they struggle to decide when to speak.

Even when models answer questions, they rarely challenge false claims or warn about danger, revealing a gap in content understanding and intervention decisions.
