Local AI on a Robot: Reachy Mini Runs Without the Cloud
The Reachy Mini robot can now hold conversations entirely locally. The whole stack (VAD, STT, LLM, TTS) runs without the cloud or an API. Users choose the models themselves. There are no cloud costs, and they get full privacy and control over their data.

Pollen Robotics' humanoid robot Reachy Mini can run entirely locally: the full speech recognition and AI stack, from voice input to response, executes on a local device with no cloud involved.
Which local AI components run on Reachy Mini?
The stack includes VAD (Voice Activity Detection) to detect speech, STT (Speech-to-Text) to convert it into text, and an LLM to process that text. All of it runs on a local device, with no cloud.
