@ceralor Right! I'd _love_ a local compute system that I can do voice recognition through _without_ relying on 'The Internet' or 'A 3rd party API'. I have a few things I'd love to build, and Espressif is making gear that targets that right now but I worry that there is something I don't know about them too!
@miah I think they're like weirdly just making things and undercutting competition because they're I believe primarily based in China, not just MFG there. The worst you could say is Tuya buys from them but they also buy from others.
It's wild when you can even find knockoff ESP32s that aren't from Espressif.
