The article doesn't address which LLM that local AI is using, but a comment below it does: https://petewarden.com/2025/10/16/why-does-a-local-ai-voice-agent-running-on-a-super-cheap-soc-matter/#comment-181304
The answer I'm reading is, it doesn't use one at all. Just voice recognition, pattern matching to choose a pre-approved response, and TTS for the chosen response. So no chance of a dishwasher telling a customer to check for power by sticking a fork in the wall outlet.
However, the linked GitHub repo is gone now, and the user has no public repos at all. This may or may not be a fork of it: https://github.com/dpajak-synaptics/on-device-ai-assistant
Such promise, already ruined by other forces within three months.
