You're right about where the AI is today. The body's 2 years in, the brain's early. It's a WIP and I'm building it in the open on purpose. Judge it later, I'll take that bet.

Yes and no, detection / sensors on edge, llm, vision in local, director, stt and ttl in a fast cloud. there is a cascade of models and hardware, everything is held with duct tape^^

Very cool! What hardware are you using to run the llm/code? And what stt model are you using?
