### AI overview

A tutorial for running fully local conversations with a Reachy Mini robot. It describes a cascaded VAD, speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech pipeline using llama.cpp with Gemma 4, Silero VAD, Parakeet-TDT STT, and Qwen3-TTS, connected through a Realtime API-compatible WebSocket. The setup avoids cloud services, API keys, and sending data off the local machine.
