> also, "GPT-4o continuously listens to speech through the audio stream," is going to be problematic
Seems like openWakeWord or porcupine could be able to solve by adding a layer for wake word detection before sending the prompt off.
I wonder if latency would be any better with a local model cached in a 16GB or 24GB graphics card. It would have to be a quantized/distilled model, but maybe performance would still be acceptable.
