ik_llama.cpp is an improved version of llama.cpp that runs faster on CPUs and hybrid GPU/CPU setups. It supports many new advanced quantization methods, which help models use less memory and run more efficiently. It also offers better performance for special models like DeepSeek and MoE, with faster prompt processing and token generation. You can run it on various hardware, including Android, and it has features to control where model data is stored (CPU or GPU). This means you get quicker AI responses and can handle bigger or more complex models smoothly on your computer or device[2][1][4].

🔈Most Common Smart Speaker Usage
People are doing plenty of things with voice commands on their #SmartSpeakers, but shopping isn’t really one of them. Only about a quarter to a third of U.S. smart speaker owners have ever purchased something using voice. Very few do so on a regular basis. An Information article this summer said just 2 percent of #Alexa owners had made a purchase via Alexa in 2018.

🗣The State of Chinese Voice Assistants
China is the second-largest consumer market in the world, hitting $4.3T in consumer expenditure in 2016 alone (for reference, the US ranked first with $12.5T, and Japan third with $2.7T).
The Chinese smart home market will reach nearly $23B in 2018, according to Juniper Research. #SmartSpeakers and #AI voice assistants are becoming an integral part of that.
Now that smart speakers are becoming commonplace, the early entrant, #Amazon, is losing its market share — and not just to its rival #Google, but to newer players emerging in China.
