Qiaohu is an Android app that provides a fully offline, multimodal voice assistant for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 devices, integrating local LLM (LiteRT-LM/Gemma 4), ASR (Whisper), TTS, VAD, and camera vision. It's interesting because it demonstrates a complex, privacy-preserving edge AI stack running entirely on-device without server dependency, combining multiple specialized models into a single application.
