Talk to your Mac offline – sub-second Voice AI (Apple Silicon and MLX)

I wanted a voice assistant that feels realtime but runs completely offline. This prototype uses MLX + FastAPI on Apple Silicon to hit sub-second latency for speech-to-speech conversations. Repo: https://github.com/shubhdo­tai/offline-voice-ai It’s fast, minimal, and hackable — would love feedback on latency tricks, model swaps, or use-cases you’d like to see next.
