Voice-controlled 3D game runs fully on CPU: 55M Phonon model plus 8B agent on an M1 MacBook
Signalman23 · x · 2026-10-21
xybridai partnered with GradiumAI to add voice control to their 3D game: the new 55M-parameter Phonon model runs alongside an 8B agent and Whisper, with inference optimized for CPU. No cloud, Wi-Fi off — everything runs locally on a 16GB M1 Pro MacBook. A showcase of combining small models for real-time multi-model workflows on consumer hardware.
