    ```

2. Access SpeechBrain in your Python code:

    ```python
    import speechbrain as sb
    ```

---

### Install from GitHub
This installation is recommended for users who wish to conduct experiments and customize the toolkit according to their needs.

1. Clone the GitHub repository and install the requirements:

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain.git
    cd speechbrain
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    pip install --editable .
    ```

2. Access SpeechBrain in your Python code:

    ```python
    import speechbrain as sb
    ```

Any modifications made to the `speechbrain` package will be automatically reflected, thanks to the `--editable` flag.

# 🔮Future Plans

We have ambitious plans for the future, with a focus on the following priorities:

- **Scale Up:** We aim to provide comprehensive recipes and technologies for training massive models on extensive datasets.

- **Scale Down:** While scaling up delivers unprecedented performance, we recognize the challenges of deploying large models in production scenarios. We are focusing on real-time, streamable, and small-footprint Conversational AI.

- **Multimodal Large Language Models**: We envision a future where a single foundation model can handle a wide range of text, speech, and audio tasks. Our core team is focused on enabling the training of advanced multimodal LLMs.
