Of course thatβs your contention. You just heard about DeepSeek two days ago. Just got done watching some 40-minute deep diveβDeirdre Bosa, probably. Youβre going to be talking about how this complicates things for the hyperscalers and how NVIDIA stock traded down 15%.
Last month, I had plans to start a community for Amsterdam makers/builders/doers in tech. It turned out @IronBrands16 had done all the heavy lifting, and an awesome community with great vibes already existed!π₯³ Looking forward to the next edition of Internet Friends on 31st Octπ

How to build the world's fastest voice AI bot:
- Self-host speech-to-text, LLM inference, and text-to-speech all together in the same container/cluster.
- Route audio over the internet using WebRTC and edge networking.
- Configure timings for voice activity detection, phrase endpointing, and other parts of the pipeline to optimize for latency. (There are trade-offs to doing this!)
Here's a LLama 3 voice bot that has voice-to-voice response times of ~500ms.
We used @DeepgramAI's STT and TTS for this bot, and everything is hosted on @cerebriumai's serverless GPU infrastructure.
