TechCrunch AI · 🔥 0 - Developer releases Alkove, a 7.5 MB on-device voice front-end for local assistants
A developer posted an early preview of Alkove, a voice front-end for local assistants made of five small on-device models totaling about 7.5 MB, with code and weights under Apache-2.0. Lex turns a typed word into likely pronunciations, Spot listens for them in seven languages, Timbre builds voiceprints, Focus keeps only the user's voice, and Cue detects speech every 30 ms. The models run on a custom Rust inference engine compiled to WebAssembly and natively for Python and Android, with packages for npm, pip, Android Kotlin, and plugins for LiveKit Agents and Pipecat. The author reports that on AMI headset-mic meetings, other speakers' words reaching the transcript fall from about 17 per minute to 0.5 with Focus and a voiceprint, and that Spot recalls 67% of typed English words at one false alarm per hour, 90% in French and 85% in Portuguese; these figures are self-reported and not independently verified.

Modal announced Sticky Sessions, a routing feature built on its Modal Servers that sends every request within a session to the same container. Developers enable it with the @modal.sessioned() decorator and start sessions through the SDK or HTTP API, with each session receiving a signed token so multiple clients can share the same state. Modal says sessions become the unit of autoscaling, and it cites voice agents, shared chat rooms, stateful UIs such as Gradio and Streamlit, and multiplayer games as target workloads.
