Huawei's openJiuwen adds full-duplex voice and video to WorkSwarm

Huawei's open-source openJiuwen platform has given WorkSwarm full-duplex multimodal interaction, letting users interrupt an agent mid-answer while a background Core Agent keeps working on longer tasks. It supports Qwen Omni and JoyAI protocols, can run on Ascend NPUs via Huawei Cloud ModelArts and vLLM-Omni, and ships installers for Windows, Mac and HarmonyOS under Apache-2.0.

• Assistant listens and speaks at once, so users can cut in mid-answer
• Background tasks survive interruptions and return results to the chat
• Supports Qwen Omni and JoyAI, deploys on Ascend NPUs via ModelArts
• Release v0.2.7 on September 30 added Proactive Context Service and cross-agent sessions
