TARS-AI

Purpose

LangGraph-powered conversational AI embodying TARS from Interstellar. Fully local on Apple Silicon via MLX — no cloud APIs. Text in, TARS voice out.

• LLM Node: mlx-lm with Llama 3.1 8B 4-bit (~4.5GB)
• Voice Output: mlx-audio Kokoro-82M (~164MB)

Key Technologies

• Framework: LangGraph, MLX
• LLM: Llama 3.1 8B 4-bit via mlx-lm
• TTS: Kokoro-82M via mlx-audio
• Audio I/O: sounddevice, soundfile

Dependencies

mlx, mlx-lm, mlx-audio, langchain-core, langgraph, sounddevice, soundfile, numpy, pydantic, rich, pyyaml, transformers, huggingface_hub
