Should I Open Source my Company?
> - People might criticize my messy/bad/unfinished code
As someone who has created and maintained open source projects (most recently Willow[0]) for two decades I get a kick out of this.
Of course when interacting with users and feedback I keep it polite but in my head I'm thinking "You like to talk. I actually DID this. Shut up or submit a PR".
Surprise surprise they almost never do.

Jarvis: A Voice Virtual Assistant in Python (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram)
Also check out Willow- https://heywillow.io
It doesn’t synthesize voice back (yet) but open source and runs all offline on ESP32-based hardware and works with HomeAssistant!

Any “Google Home” type solutions that work offline?
Look into https://heywillow.io/ - still early in the project but they are getting good results.

Home Assistant 2023.11
Very nice!
Would you be interesting in integrating with my project Willow[0]?
Willow supports Home Assistant, OpenHAB, and generic REST+MQTT endpoints today. With Home Assistant and OpenHAB we benefit from their specific API support for providing speech to text output and processing through things like the HA Assist Pipelines[1].
From our standpoint we handle wake word, VAD+AEC+BSS, STT, TTS, user feedback, etc. All we really do is send the speech transcript to the Willow command endpoint (like HA) and speak+display the execution result. Other than all of the wild speech stuff and our obsession with speed and accuracy Willow is really quite "dumb" - think of it as a voice terminal.
OpenHAB has something similar but it's significantly more limited.

Distil-Whisper: distilled version of Whisper that is 6 times faster, 49% smaller
I'm the founder of Willow[0] (we use ctranslate2 as well) and I will be looking at this as soon tomorrow as these models are released. HF claims they're drop-in compatible but we won't know for sure until someone looks at it.

What's New in Python 3.12
Shameless self-plug but with my project Willow[0] we have a management server implementation to deal with multiple devices, etc. We have a new feature called "Willow One Wake" that takes the incoming audio amplitude when wake word is detected and uses our Willow Application Server (python) to only activate wake on the device closest to the person speaking. Old and tired compared to the commercial stuff but a first in the open source space.
The asyncio improvements in Python 3.12 especially (plus perf generally) have been instrumental in enabling real world use of this. With Python 3.12 asyncio, uvloop, and FastAPI it works remarkably well[1]. As the demo video shows not only does it not delay responsiveness, it has granularity down to inches.
