Hey everyone! We've been hard at work to raise the bar and make Voxta really worth your time. I think we're getting there.
We're launching Voxta Cloud today
With Voxta Cloud, you can run Voxta without setting up local services or buying additional subscriptions. No headaches! Your Patreon tier gives you credits to play with based on your tier. We're also taking care of curating models, connecting with the very best AI providers, and adding a strong layer of privacy. Even we are unable to see any of your data. It's still in beta, but everyone can try it right now!
Use it to try Voxta before setting up local services, or mix and match with local services. What do you think? Did we nail this?
Going fully offline with ExLlamaV2, XTTS and Whisper
We care a lot about running everything locally, so we've added built-in ExLlamaV2 support for running GPTQ models without having to install other programs, XTTS for speech synthesis, and Whisper for transcription. If you have a good GPU with enough VRAM, you can run everything locally and get a very high quality experience! If you don't have enough to run everything - or if you want to also run Virt-A-Mate at the same time - you can always mix and match Voxta Cloud (or your favorite services) and local services. We recommend using XTTS locally and Voxta Cloud for the rest to maximize your credits usage.
More! More! Moooore!
There's a ton of other things we worked on recently, such as Linux support (in progress), a much better user experience and tons of quality of life improvements. There's also some nice experimental features, such as chatting remotely on a mobile phone, vision, tools to help generate characters and benchmarks to evaluate the newest fancy LLM of the day!
Let's not forget that Voxta is more than a companion software. It's a framework. We've made home automation demos, game integrations and our amazing community has been making super cool prototypes of desktop avatars and adult toy integrations.
Thank you!
Thanks to everyone who believed in us and contributed to the project, we're all really proud of what we've achieved, and we are very lucky to have so many talented and helpful people contributing by giving feedback, reporting issues, creating tools to augment Voxta (I'm looking at you, vaan20 and djsoapknuckles!) and help each other learning. We're just getting started, join us on Discord to see some of the crazy things we're working on!
Stay safe, and have unrestricted fun!
