Porcupine   VS Milvus

I call it DaVinci. DaVinci uses Picovoice (https://picovoice.ai/) solutions for wake word and voice activity detection and for converting speech to text, Amazon Polly to convert its responses into a natural sounding voice, and OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 to do the heavy lifting. It’s all contained in about 300 lines of Python code.

Download pre-trained models: "Porcupine" from Porcupine Wake Word and Video Player Context from Rhino Speech-to-Intent repositories - You can also train a custom models on Picovoice Console.

Below are some useful resources: Open-source code Picovoice Platform SDK Picovoice website

Download the Porcupine model and turn the binary model into a base64 string.

Download Porcupine (i.e. Deep Neural Network). Run the following to turn the binary model into a base64 string, from the project folder.

Porcupine SDK Porcupine SDK is on GitHub. Find libraries for supported MCUs on the Porcupine GitHub repository. Arduino libraries are available via a specialized package manager offered by Arduino.

I sometimes see the term "end-to-end", and it always passes right by my ears as marketing jargon. For example, there was a recent post today that linked to this page: https://picovoice.ai/, and you'll find the statement "... end-to-end platform for adding voice to anything on your terms". I did a quick Google search and it seems like the term is used in many different contexts (e.g., encryption, enterprise software for product development, etc.), but to be honest, I'm just not getting it. Maybe someone can explain here within the realm of embedded software? Could you provide some examples as well?

Zilliz is hiring! We're looking for REMOTE and/or HYBRID roles in SF

Zilliz is the company behind Milvus (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus), the most widely adopted vector database. Vector databases are a crucial piece of any technology stack looking to take advantage of unstructured data. Most recently and notably, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). For RAG, vector databases like Milvus are used as the tool to inject customized data. In other words, vector databases make things like customized chat bots, personalized product recommendations, and more possible.

We are hiring for Developer Advocates, Senior+ Level Engineers and Product people, and Talent Acquisition. Check out all the roles here: https://zilliz.com/careers

Good on them, I know the crustaceans are out here happy about this raise for a Rust based Vector DB!

(now I'm gonna plug what I work on)
