    Just launched v0.4! Listens to spoken questions, reads sensor data, thinks hard and gives sharp as nail answers - completely offline. Video from today: https://x.com/petruspennanen…

    Any standard OBD-II ELM32 will work, they are like $15.. Mine is a Vgate iCar Pro over bluetooth. A USB ELM327 v1.5 also works

    I've been very impressed by it's intelligence and lack of hallucinations. The dynamic Q3 is a good balance between accuracy and size keeping the 35B just below 16 GB. It is not sup…
