Repository scope

GitHub describes it as Build local voice agents with open-source models. The repository metadata lists Python as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: A low-latency, fully modular voice-agent pipeline: VAD - STT - LLM - TTS , exposed through an OpenAI Realtime-compatible WebSocket API . Every component is swappable. The LLM slot speaks OpenAI-compatible protocols, so you can point it at a hosted provider, at HF Inference Providers, or at a vLLM or llama.cpp server on your own hardware for a fully local, fully open stack.
