🤖 Did you know your voice might be cloned without your consent from just *one sentence* of audio? That's not great. So with @frimelle , we brainstormed a new idea for developers who want to curb malicious use: ✨The Voice Consent Gate.✨ Details, code, here: https://huggingface.co/blog/voice-consent-gate
The entire stack runs on-device, leveraging MLX-LM for Apple Silicon.
- Whisper for real-time STT - WebRTC VAD for voice activity detection - A custom-tuned Qwen #LLM (Kurtis E1) ethicalabs/Kurtis-E1.1-Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct - Coqui XTTSv2 for natural speech
This showcases the power of local AI/ML. I am also actively developing the SIP #VoIP integration (now in testing). The goal? To let you take a phone call and talk directly with your private agent, even without a computer or internet connection.
While Kurtis isn't built for math/coding, it shows a valuable path forward for on-device workflows.
We are actively looking for partners and clients to build out these POCs into real-world use cases.
https://www.ethicalabs.ai/ isn't a startup. We are not looking for VCs, equity deals, or grants: we're an open-source project.
