Bailing

Bailing is an open-source voice-dialogue assistant designed to deliver natural voice-based conversations by combining automatic speech recognition (ASR), voice activity detection (VAD), a large language model (LLM), and text-to-speech (TTS) in a single pipeline. Its goal is to offer a “voice-first” chat experience similar to what one might expect from a system like GPT-4o, but fully open and deployable by users. The project is modular: each core function — ASR, VAD, LLM, TTS — exists as a separately replaceable component, which allows flexibility in picking your preferred models depending on resources or languages. It aims to be light enough to run without a GPU, making it usable on modest hardware or edge devices, while still maintaining low latency and smooth interaction. Bailing includes a memory system, giving the assistant the ability to remember user preferences and context across sessions, which enables more personalized and context-aware conversations.
