Reachy Mini goes fully local
Hugging Face Blog
Reachy Mini robot now supports fully local voice conversations without sending audio to cloud servers, using a cascaded pipeline of open-source models for speech recognition, language processing, and text-to-speech. The recommended setup uses Gemma 4 for language understanding, Parakeet-TDT 0.6B v3 for speech-to-text, Silero VAD for voice detection, and Qwen3-TTS for responses. Users can now keep all audio and processing on their own hardware, eliminating API costs and external dependencies while maintaining control over which models to use.
