Play 3.0 mini – A lightweight, reliable, cost-efficient Multilingual TTS model
Hi, I don't know what's SOTA, but I got good results with these (open source, on-device) :

Self-hosted offline transcription and diarization service with LLM summary
I've been using this:
https://github.com/bugbakery/transcribee
It's noticeably work-in-progress but it does the job and has a nice UI to edit transcriptions and speakers etc.
It's running on the CPU for me, would be nice to have something that can make use of a 4GB Nvidia GPU, which faster-whisper is actually able to [1]

Apple Explores Home Robotics as Potential 'Next Big Thing'
Thermostats: https://www.sinopetech.com/en/products/thermostat/
I haven't tried running a local text-to-speech engine backed by an LLM to control Home Assistant. Maybe someone is working on this already?
TTS: https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper
LLM: https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/releases
LLM: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-D...
It would take some tweaking to get the voice commands working correctly.

Whisper: Nvidia RTX 4090 vs. M1 Pro with MLX
Could someone elaborate how is this accomplished and is there any quality disparity compared to original whisper?
Repos like https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper makes immediate sense about why it's faster than the original, but this one, not so much, especially considering it's even much faster.

Distil-Whisper: distilled version of Whisper that is 6 times faster, 49% smaller
That's the implication. If the distil models are same format as original openai models then the Distil models can be converted for faster-whisper use as per the conversion instructions on https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper/
So then we'll see whether we get the 6x model speedup on top of the stated 4x faster-whisper code speedup.
