Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems for spoken natural stylistic conversations with large language models. In contrast to many existing modalities for interacting with large language models that are limited to text, the techniques presented herein enable users to carry a fully spoken conversation with a large language model. This is accomplished by converting a user speech audio input to text and utilizing a prompt engine to analyze a sentiment expressed by the user. A large language model, having been trained on example conversations, by generating a text response as well as a style cue to express emotion in response to the sentiment expressed by speech audio input. A text-to-speech engine can subsequently interpret the text response and style cue to generate an audio output which emulates the sensation of human conversation.

Abstract: An installation frame for a horizontal directional drilling operation can include a pair of front uprights supporting a front crossbar disposed therebetween and selectively vertically movable. An installation frame can include a pair of rear uprights supporting a rear crossbar disposed therebetween and selectively vertically movable, wherein the front crossbar and the rear crossbar are configured to support a casing for a drill at a predetermined drill angle relative to a floor of a body of water.
