Истории с полей, как пользуются локальными моделями.

Watching the OpenClaw/Molbot craze has been entertaining. I wouldn't use it - too much code, changing too quickly, with too little regard for security - but it has inspired me.
I often have ideas while cleaning around, cooking, etc. Claude Code (with Opus 4.5) is very capable. I've long wanted to get Claude Code working hands-free.
So I took an afternoon and rolled my own STT-TTS voice stack for Claude Code. The voice stack runs locally on my M4 Pro and is extremely fast.

Custom MCP to hook this into Claude Code, with a little bit of hacking around to get my AirPods' stem click to be captured.
I'm having Claude narrate its thought process and everything it's doing in short, frequent messages, and I can interrupt it at any time with a stem click, which starts listening to me and sends the message once a sufficiently long pause is detected.
I stream the Claude Code session via AirPlay to my living room TV, so that I don't have to get close to the laptop if I need extra details about what it's doing.
Yesterday, I had it debug a custom WhatsApp integration (via [1]) hands-free while brushing my teeth. It can use
osascript for OS integration, browse the web via Claude Code's builtin tools...
My back is thankful. This is really fun.
