I e been wanting to do this with a basic stuffed animal now for a while. Just basic interactions with a child plus lessons and a voice would be game changing for the toy world.

I wonder how well suited some of the smaller LLMs like Qwen 0.6B would be suited to this... it doesn't sound like a super complicated task. I also feel like you can train a model on this task by using the zero-shot performance of larger models to create a dataset, making something very zippy.
I wondered similar. Perhaps a local model cached in a 16GB or 24GB graphics card would perform well too. It would have to be a quantized/distilled model, but maybe sufficient, especially with some additional training as you mentioned.
"ah, you hesitated" no more so than on every single other question. the delay for the GPT to process a response is very unnerving. I find it worse than when the news is interviewing a remote site with a delay between responses. maybe if the eyes had LEDs to indicate activity rather than it just sitting there??? waiting for a GPT to do its thing is always going to force a delay especially when pushing the request to t…

> the delay for the GPT to process a response is very unnerving I'm not sure I agree. The way the tentacle stops moving and shoots upright when you start talking to it gives me the intuitive impression that it's paying attention and thinking. Pretty cute!
it's the "thinking" frozen state while it uploads and waits for a GPT response that is unnerving. if the eyes did something to indicate progress is being made, then it would remove the desire to ask it if it is working or something. the last thing I want to be is that PM asking for a status update, but some indication it was actually processing the request would be ideal. even if there was a new animation with the ta…

Like using phones as babysitters, just 100x worse. I don't doubt someone's gonna invent it, but yikes. Imagine telling kiddo their beloved sentient toy is dead because mum and dad can't afford the ever-rising subscription fees anymore.
edit: when my kid asks for one I'll know it's time to move the family to a cabin deep in the woods.
This is so cool! I love the idea of adding expressivity to non verbal, non human entities.
Agreed! I think the Pixar lamp is a great starting point. Having the robot be able to flex and bend, shake yes/no, look curious or upset, and perhaps even let it control LEDs to express itself.
Also was thinking of Oogie Boogie Tim Burton

> also, "GPT-4o continuously listens to speech through the audio stream," is going to be problematic This seems like a good place to leverage a wake word library, perhaps openWakeWord or porcupine. Then the user could wake the device before sending the prompt off to an endpoint. It could even have a resting or snoozing animation, then have it perk up when the wake word triggers. Eerie to view, I'm sure... https://git…
