Open-Source Real-Time Voice Stack for Reachy Mini
andimarafioti · x · 2026-07-09
Pollen Robotics revealed it has shipped 9,000 Reachy Mini desktop robots, generating 15,000 hours of conversation monthly. Using the GPT real-time API would cost $45,000 per month.
To solve this, the team developed a fully open-source proprietary solution costing only $0.25 per hour. It can run locally for free and requires just a single line of code for migration.
