Boubou: open-source CLI turns your laptop into a fully local voice AI hub
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-11-12
Boubou is an MIT-licensed open-source CLI that turns open-source speech models into a local runtime: one command on Apple Silicon Mac or Linux gives you a speakable, interruptible voice assistant.
- Quick start: npx boubou@beta run LFM3-Audio-2B (1.4GB first-run download, mic permission needed)
- Any phone, robot or smart-home device on the same Wi-Fi can talk to it — 100% local voice AI
- Built on LiquidAI's LFM3-Audio-2B and local inference stacks like llama.cpp
Great for developers who want a private, offline voice assistant or a local voice backend for robots and smart homes.
