Summary

Reachy Mini has a new fully open-source backend for real-time voice interaction, running audio models locally and leveraging LLM subscriptions to avoid per-second API costs.

Reachy Mini just got a new Brain! We released a fully open-source backend for talking to Reachy Mini. In the last 48 hours, 3,000+ robots have already hit the version deployed on Hugging Face's infra. Until today, if you wanted a real-time voice agent in your robot, you were looking at $20+ a day. Realtime APIs are expensive because every second the connection is up, you are being charged! But with our approach, you can run the audio models locally and use your OpenAI or Claude subscription for the LLM, at no extra costs. The audio pipeline is very efficient; in the video, it's running on the cheapest Mac mini, 16GB of RAM (the one that sold out a couple of months back when people were buying them up for openclaws setups). Tutorials coming in the next few weeks: how to run your robot fully locally, or with your favorite agent. Stay tuned!
