Open-Source ai-phone Runs a Call-Handling Agent on Apple Silicon Macs

The open-source ai-phone project turns an Apple Silicon Mac into a phone agent that can answer calls, place them, or do both, using locally run speech and language models. Its setup recommends a 4B language model for Macs with 16 GB of memory, with a 2B option for 8 GB systems and a 9B option for 32 GB.
