@appenz Hi there, wasn’t a d*** move from us. Could you give us more details? Members are posting everyday, even new ones.

[Google Gemma @googlegemma]

Real-time social robotics, from the cloud to your local device.

Watch Ian from our DevX team use Gemini Live for a seamless voice chat with Reachy Mini.

Then, stick around until the end to see the robot running locally on Gemma 4!

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

@zeeshan5k Sure, juste sent you an answer to your other message :)

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

We mentioned it a few weeks ago — Reachy Mini's price is changing, for a number of reasons.
You have two days left to get it at the original price: https://t.co/cBP18lVh1Z

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

@zeeshan5k Hey there! First, sorry that you did not receive your robot. Could you please provide us more details about your order in DM?

[Ivan Fioravanti ᯅ @ivanfioravanti]

Reachy mini running locally in near real time was not on my bingo card too! 😱

With version 1.8.0 you can even add MCP thanks to @ailozovskaya details here: https://t.co/pZ7hKXcaeH (I hope Private Spaces support will be added soon)

AI is speeding up innovation faster than light!

Models used:
- Gemma 4 E4B QAT
- Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3
- Qwen3-TTS 1.7B CustomVoice (speaker: Aiden, you can change this easily)

Commands used:
- llama-server -hf google/gemma-4-E4B-it-qat-q4_0-gguf -np 2 -c 65536 -fa on --swa-full
- speech-to-speech --responses_api_base_url "http://127.0.0.1:8080" --responses_api_api_key ""

Thanks again to @andimarafioti @pollenrobotics @huggingface 🙏

This little robot is so funny to use!

I asked Reachy Mini to talk like a caveman and he started being surprisingly uplifting

Introducing local Reachy Mini conversations: free chats forever!
So fast that we had to hardcode delays to stop it from interrupting you mid-sentence.

We built an open-source Realtime API powered by llama.cpp:
Parakeet -> Gemma 4 E4B -> Qwen3TTS

Run it anywhere you run local LMs. Video shows DGX Spark and a 36GB M3 Pro MacBook.

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

models are the easiest part of an AI product now

the next phase of AI engineering is better behavior runtimes - everything around the model

when we combine an LLM with robots:
- model sets intent, not direct action
- personality is policy
- idle state is a product decision
- latency is interaction design
- voice is UX

also can spot my chat with the lovely @ZhangsqNo1 at @AIEMiami❤️‍🔥

[Ruihan Zhang @ruihan_mit]

The panda master is a modified Reachy Mini from @pollenrobotics:
- added panda ears
- painted black eye circles
- connected to GPT voice conversation

When the conversation reaches “fortune telling mode,” GPT emits a tool call containing:

- drawing trajectories
- interpretation text

While generating the fortune map, the panda’s head starts shaking violently like it’s performing some ancient ritual 😂

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

@jrswab Sounds nice! But we don't plan to offer any discount on our robot for the moment

BTS 🤖

Team: My kids + nephews joined as interns. Lots of questions. One 2-year-old QA tester nearly started a fish tank test 📷

Thanks to @huggingface and @pollenrobotics
to make AI and robotics feel real, hands-on, and exciting for the next generation of builders.

New dances added to the reachy mini desktop app. Try them and post a video below?

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

@_sexypenguin @waqasraza @huggingface Dude, no.

[clem 🤗 @ClementDelangue]

Reachy mini rap battle at @aiDotEngineer Singapore!

[Pollen Robotics @pollenrobotics]

@ivanfioravanti @huggingface really? 👀

[Ivan Fioravanti ᯅ @ivanfioravanti]

Reachy Mini getting ready for Mobile App? 👀

What is this @huggingface / @pollenrobotics 🧐

[Motoshi @waqasraza]

Reachy Mini is Assembled and Ready
