A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is a cool project for an ESP32-S3-Box which can give really good voice support to Homeassistant or Openhab. Once installed on supported hardware, you can host the Inference Server yourself, use their cloud based version, or perform local actions on the device.

Oh wow, I didn't even hear it was discontinued, interesting.

Does it use a large language model? it says "Willow users can now self-host the Willow Inference Server for lightning-fast language inference tasks with Willow and other applications (even WebRTC) including STT, TTS, LLM, and more!"

but i'm not sure if that refers to using a large language model or if LLM refers to something else

Yes - I have not tested it out yet but the author of this project suggests Llama derivatives like Vicuna. I am excited to see how this project evolves alongside Homeasisstant's voice goals. The author of Rhasspy is working for Nabu Casa so im sure that will grow too!
