What is everyone using for the LLM model for HA voice when selfhosting ollama? I’ve tried llama and qwen with varying degrees of understanding my commands. I’m currently on llama as it appears a little better. I just wanted to see if anyone found a better model.
Edit: as pointed out, this is more of a speech to text issue than llm model. I’m looking into the alternatives to whisper
I used the llama 3.2 3b model for a while. It ran Okeyish enough on a laptop with gtx1050 (about 10s to 2 minute response time). I’ve personally opted to go without ollama for now though as the automations and build in functions in the voice preview edition are more than enough for me at the moment especially with recent updates.
I don’t think I’ve tried it without ollama, I may give that a shot.
If you do you should use speech-to-phrase instead of whisper. I’ve found it to be more reliable if you’re using it with automation commands instead of an LLM. In your automations you can setup phrases as a trigger. It has support for aliases as well and I believe that it also supports templating for sentences.
