Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. (arstechnica.com)

Ok, hmm I wonder how much work it would be to implement it using open source models. I think the hardest part would be translating the voice instructions to an API call that HA can use correctly.

Then there is the whole hardware issue to fix too. I do know that some SOCs are getting good at running 7B parameter models locally but the cost is still probably going to be prohibitive.
