It puts cloud providers and Ollama behind an OpenAI-compatible API, so clients can use one endpoint across different backends. It's open source under MIT and runs on your own server as a single executable or in Docker.

Extended OpenAI Conversation is a custom component for Home Assistant users who want an AI assistant that can act on their home. It builds on OpenAI Conversation and adds device control, automation creation, and access to historical device states. It runs inside Home Assistant, while a separate model backend handles the conversation.

picoLLM is an on-device inference SDK for developers building apps that run compressed language models on users' hardware. It generates text locally, so prompts don't need to go to a cloud inference service. Its main distinction is Picovoice's compression method, which learns how to allocate precision across model weights rather than applying a fixed allocation.

Seed-VC changes recorded speech or singing to sound like a voice supplied in a short reference clip, without training a separate model for that speaker. It runs locally on Windows, Linux and Apple Silicon Macs, with uses in audio production, live streaming and online meetings. The project is archived and no longer maintained.
