- Enhanced `ARCHITECTURE.md` with details on LLM models for work (Llama 3.1 70B Q4) and family agents (Phi-3 Mini 3.8B Q4). - Introduced new documents: - `ASR_EVALUATION.md` for ASR engine evaluation and selection. - `HARDWARE.md` outlining hardware requirements and purchase plans. - `IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md` for Milestone 2 implementation steps. - `LLM_CAPACITY.md` assessing VRAM and context window limits. - `LLM_MODEL_SURVEY.md` surveying open-weight LLM models. - `LLM_USAGE_AND_COSTS.md` detailing LLM usage and operational costs. - `MCP_ARCHITECTURE.md` describing the Model Context Protocol architecture. - `MCP_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` summarizing MCP implementation status. These updates provide comprehensive guidance for the next phases of development and ensure clarity in project documentation.

|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Plan and purchase required hardware:
|
|
|
|
**Must-have / likely:**
|
|
- 1-2 high-quality USB microphones or small array mic (living room/office)
|
|
- Small always-on node (Pi/NUC/old SFF PC) if not reusing existing hardware
|
|
- Storage (additional SSD/HDD for logs, transcripts, note archives)
|
|
- Network gear (extra Ethernet runs or cheap PoE switch) if needed
|
|
- Headset or dedicated mic for desk usage
|
|
|
|
**Nice-to-have:**
|
|
- Dedicated low-power box for 1050 "family agent"
|
|
- UPS for servers (4080/1050) to avoid abrupt shutdowns
|
|
- Small tablet or wall-mounted screen for LAN dashboard
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [x] Hardware requirements documented (see `docs/HARDWARE.md`)
|
|
- [x] Purchase list created (MVP: $125-250, Full: $585-1270)
|
|
- [ ] Must-have items acquired (pending purchase)
|
|
- [ ] Hardware tested and integrated (pending hardware)
|
|
- [x] Nice-to-have items prioritized (UPS, storage, dashboard)
|
|
|
|
## Technical Details
|
|
|
|
Hardware specifications:
|
|
- Microphones: USB, array mic, or headset
|
|
- Always-on node: Raspberry Pi 4+, NUC, or SFF PC
|
|
- Storage: SSD for logs (500GB+), HDD for archives
|
|
- Network: PoE switch if needed for mic nodes
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
None - can be done in parallel with software development.
|

## Purchase Recommendations
|
|
|
|
**Immediate (MVP):**
|
|
1. USB Microphone(s): $50-150 (1-2 units)
|
|
2. Always-On Node: Raspberry Pi 4+ ($75-100) if ASR on 4080, or NUC ($200-400) if ASR on CPU
|
|
|
|
**After MVP Working:**
|
|
3. Storage: $50-100 (SSD) + $60-120 (HDD) if needed
|
|
4. UPS: $80-150 for server protection
