Where are the AI agents?

[dionys → xan_ps007]

Poor agents, finally taking a break

The AI is over employed

is there an open source variant available? I am building https://github.com/bolna-ai/bolna which is an open source voice orchestration.

would love to have something like this integrated as part of our open source stack.

Bolna looks awesome! We've considered going open-source, but we're not sure how to effectively manage a community.

I'll reach out async!

[xan_ps007 → sumanyusharma]

Sure! Would love to discuss synergies and if we can integrate it. Thanks & all the best!

hey! that's a great question. Initially, we had multiple processes for every component (ASR, LLM, TTS) and using a configurable settings pair of endpointing and token_size we used to handle it since for some cases latency might be an issue but some some others (where there are longer responses) it might not be that much of an issue. Later on, we also integrated with caching and routing to minimize unnecessary calls.

We have built a dockerized open source stack for Whisper + Llama3 + MeloTTS. Whisper and MeloTTS for now works fine for our use cases. https://github.com/bolna-ai/bolna/tree/master/examples/whisp...

On: Ask HN: Is open sourcing your code still an option with the rise of AI?

[xan_ps007]

We open sourced our project long back - https://github.com/bolna-ai/bolna because eventually it'll be fed to the agent one way or the other :)

What we have learnt is that big enterprises do not really want to use close source models due to the random bursts in usage which might drain their bills.
