The personality also comes from the system prompt, but I’ll grant you, it’s pretty minor.

I’m looking forward to a future where everyone could have their own personality model that is actually fine tuned at the weight level. Plus if we come up with better ways to do lifelong learning, personality could emerge from the robot’s experiences

If you use a Voice PE, I made a server so you can use it without Home Assistant:

It'll just send the recognized speech to your own API endpoint, and speak whatever is returned.
