Nunchaku is a fast and efficient engine that runs 4-bit neural networks using a special method called SVDQuant, which compresses models to use less memory and speed up processing by 2 to 5 times compared to older methods. It supports advanced AI models for tasks like high-quality text-to-image generation and image editing, working best on modern NVIDIA GPUs. You can easily install and use it with ComfyUI, and it has active community support on Slack, Discord, and WeChat. This means you can generate or edit images quickly with less computing power, saving time and resources. It also offers tutorials and example workflows to help you get started smoothly.

🔈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.
