Aria – A local and uncensored AI entity (end to end attempt, experimental)

Hey everyone! Excited to share our attempt for an open source end-to-end AI assistant. Check it out here: https://github.com/lef-fan/aria

Currently it utilizes VAD (Voice Activity Detection using silero vad), STT (Speech-to-Text using Whisper), LLM (llama-cpp-python + mixtral gguf – Q4_K_M by default) and TTS (Text-to-Speech using coqui xttsv2, currently for demo purposes non open project).

The idea and goal is to have a fully uncensored, open sourced AI bot with smooth user experience running side by side your workflow for fun and who knows what else, focusing on open projects together with reasonable speed.In the near future, we plan to add more features like function calling, memory storing, enhanced dialogue capabilities, image recognition and more as technology advances.

This project benefits from having access to robust computing resources for optimal performance.(Only tested on Linux+Nvidia GPUs so far) It is work in progress, so any feedback or suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated! – If you’re interested in contributing to the project or sharing your opinions, feel free to reach out here or submit a pull request.
