Duo

Personal AI computer for your home. Like JARVIS. 🗣.

In plain words

Duo is a home AI computer designed to function as a personal assistant for household management. It integrates with internet-connected devices and systems through APIs, enabling voice-controlled automation and smart home control. Built on artificial intelligence technology, Duo aims to provide hands-free interaction with home environments and connected devices, similar to fictional AI assistants. The system is intended for homeowners looking to centralize control of their smart home setup through a dedicated AI device.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).

We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
