## Summary

Ant Ling says Ming-3.0 supplies the ears and voice for a local home assistant built by @aijoey, with DeepSeek handling the reasoning. The assistant runs on two NVIDIA DGX Sparks, with Ming 3.0 ASR tiny on a Mac mini M4 for speech recognition and Ming 3.0 TTS 0.5B on the Sparks for voice output. Joey says the code will be released in a repo that is still in progress.
