Gemma4 12B and E2B models demonstrate voice conversations on diverse hardware

A demonstration showcases voice conversations between two models, Gemma4 12B and E2B, running on different hardware. Gemma 4 12B operates on an RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, while Gemma 4 E2B utilizes a Jetson Orin NX 16GB, with similar performance anticipated on a Jetson Orin Nano Super 8GB. Both setups employ a reSpeaker microphone array and a 3W speaker, with inference managed by Cortexist Little Gemma, a C-based LLM engine for CUDA devices that reportedly outperforms llama.cpp on the Jetson Orin and supports features like lip sync, expressions, and gestures.
