Google laid him off. So he pointed Google’s own AI at Bitcoin—and reportedly made over $400K.
The wild part? TimesFM was **never trained on Bitcoin**. It was trained on 100B+ time points from things like search trends, Wikipedia traffic, and demand data.
Instead of retraining the model, he simply prompts it with the latest BTC data every 5 minutes.
The bot then:
• Predicts the next candle’s probability range
• Compares model odds vs. market odds
• Trades only when there’s a meaningful edge
• Uses strict filters, Fractional Kelly sizing, and daily loss limits
No emotions. No guessing. Just data-driven trading.
I’m giving away the complete setup and breakdown for free.

🚨 Hugging Face just open sourced a complete real-time voice AI pipeline.
Speak. It listens. It thinks. It talks back. End to end. Running on your GPU. Free.
No OpenAI Realtime API fees. No ElevenLabs per-character billing. No Google Cloud per-minute pricing. Just a GPU and an internet connection.
It's called speech-to-speech. Built and maintained by Hugging Face. And it does something no other open-source project has assembled cleanly until now.
Here's what makes real-time voice AI hard.
Every voice AI pipeline has four stages: speech recognition (you speak → text), language model (text → response text), text-to-speech (response text → audio), and audio output. Each stage adds latency. Chain them together naively and you get a system that feels slow — the pause between you finishing a sentence and the AI starting to respond breaks the conversational illusion.
speech-to-speech is built around minimizing that latency at every stage simultaneously.
Here's the full stack it ships with:
Speech Recognition (STR):
→ Whisper (local) — OpenAI's transcription model, runs fully offline
→ Faster-Whisper — 4x faster inference with same accuracy
→ Distil-Whisper — smallest and fastest, lowest latency
→ Paraformer — Chinese language specialist
Language Model (LLM):
→ Any Transformers-compatible model — Llama, Mistral, Qwen, anything
→ Any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint — swap in Claude, GPT, Gemini
→ MLX-optimized models for Apple Silicon — runs efficiently on Mac
Text-to-Speech (TTS):
→ Parler-TTS — controllable voice with description-based prompting
→ MeloTTS — multilingual, fast
→ ChatTTS — natural conversational prosody
→ HF Inference Endpoints — offload TTS to Hugging Face servers when needed
Mix and match. Any STR with any LLM with any TTS. Test combinations. Find the lowest latency stack for your hardware.
Here's the wildest part.
It ships with a Language Model Speech (LMS) mode — an experimental architecture where the LLM generates audio tokens directly instead of text tokens. No separate TTS stage. The model thinks in audio.
This is the architecture that makes GPT-4o Advanced Voice feel natural — the model is generating speech as a native output, not converting text to speech after the fact. HF's open-source version lets you experiment with this architecture on your own hardware.
And there's a VAD (Voice Activity Detection) system that detects when you stop speaking in real time — no fixed silence threshold, no manual push-to-talk. The pipeline responds the moment you finish a sentence.
Here's the cost comparison that makes this worth caring about.
OpenAI Realtime API: $0.06 per minute input, $0.24 per minute output. A one-hour conversation: $18. A developer building a voice AI application with 1,000 daily users: $18,000/day in API costs.
speech-to-speech on a single A100: $0. Your only cost is the GPU rental.
For production voice AI at any scale, the economics are not close.

Hermes x Obsidian is the most powerful AI memory system available right now.
Use Obsidian to store all your notes, and Hermes feeds on that data to self-evolve over time.
Your agent learns all your personal goals and context and uses them to build automations for your entire life.
Here's how to set it up in <5 minutes:
Step 1. Download Obsidian
Head to obsidian dot md and download the app.
Create a new vault (this is where all your notes will live locally on your machine).
Start dumping everything in here:
- Meeting notes
- Ideas and goals
- Research and insights
- Journal entries
- Any data you want your AI to know
The more you put in, the more powerful it gets.
Step 2. Connect Hermes to your Obsidian vault
Open the new Hermes desktop app and paste this prompt:
"I want to connect you to my new obsidian vault and have you act as my second-brain orchestrator - do everything necessary to set up that connection now."
This gives Hermes direct access to everything inside your vault.
Step 3. Let it self-evolve
Every time you add a new note, Hermes automatically ingests it.
Over time, it builds a living, breathing memory of everything you know, think, and work on.
Pro tip: Once Obsidian is connected to your agent, you can just prompt it directly to add notes/context/data.
This is what a true AI second brain looks like.
Save this and build your second brain system now.
