Gemma 4 12B QAT + faster Qwen 3 TTS fits perfectly fine in 12GB VRAM and can be used to create a fully local voice assistant with … reconizeable traits ;)
The project is fully open source and published here: https://git.sync.wtf/starfleet
I see Youtubers trying to do similar things every now and then but for some reason their latencies always seem a lot higher than I would expect so if the one I’ve conjured up (based on Huggingface’s Speech-to-Speech project initially) is special somehow then maybe it’s of interest to others.
Ooh seems great !
I am nowhere near my compter (hah !) right now so I can’t test, but last time I checked, qwen3 TTS was NVIDIA (well CUDA) only
Will my full AMD rig on linux be able to run it ?
Nice project!
Btw, just to let you know, in case your “computer” model is still to be trained… (as you write in the Readme) There’s a bunch of people who make microwakeword models for ESPHome and put them on GitHub:
