alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-10-25
A developer shows their M5Stack StackChan desk robot now running fully locally: Nous Research's model-agnostic hermes-agent, voice handled by Gradium Phonon, TTS via Parakeet — all local models, zero cost, with the option to swap in subscription models. The author notes that last year the robot was limited in ability; now it's a fully functioning, thinking robot anyone can own.
