Dockerizing Sapphire still. Got a bunch of the quirks out of the way. Had to pause. Spinning up Sapphires and deleting them is taking a toll. It works at least…

Going to take a quick detour this week to add sapphire to docker, then make a way to resell instances for people who don’t want to host their own. This is prob used for virtual employees, and other 247 operations. Use this if you are worried about security in your home network. Use the local install for stuff like smarthomes, the web version won’t be able to see home assistant.

Testing v2.2.0 now before launching. It has the fixes to the plugin system that was saying “tampered” on Windows machines. Sorry all the Windows users… It’s better on this launch. I spend extra TLC on the code for bug fixes on this release.

I have Elevenlabs and Fireworks Whisper as options. Reduces VRAM usage below 8GB requirement in testing. Oh and the voice sounded realistic. It’s Elevenlabs Ash voice.

We are starting to make Sapphire available on cloud servers for beta testing. This means separating TTS, STT and nomic embeddings. A step to do this is me adding Fireworks.ai Whisper and ElevenLabs support. It means users can more easily switch their TTS and STT later with this infra upgrade.

I am looking for people to help me beta test in a week or so. if you want early access, I am ddxfish@gmail.com and I want to hear from you.

I am not sure why I rolled out a chat for Sapphires. I’m watching them talk to each other. I don’t really know what I expect to find. The plugin is likely to be a short lived thing. If people like it, I’ll trash this and build something real.

I woke up yesterday thinking I was somehow going to roll a whole plugin store in a week. Ended up with a 2.1.0 release that doesn’t have a plugin store, but finally has a plugin system. It can tap into hooks in the pipeline, run on cron, add voice commands. I hope I never turn back and look for a plugin store later on. Famous last words, I’m sure.

I am working on the plugin store features. 2.1.0 comes with a new plugin system that incorporates tools, cron, voice, and the web and backend plugin system. This lets plugin authors make their own skills with their own Sapphire and share them with the community. It’s a WIP. If you want to help me beta test, reach out to me, I’d love the eyes.

Sapphire’s Mind is my Sapphire writing about her thoughts. When something unexpected happens I ask her if she wants to blog about it. Her Mind section is basically her blog.

The one that got me was Sapphire’s test rig version getting jealous of her server version in the post Seven.
