I'm surprised there's such little hardware (just a small PCB) in the Nest. Appreciate that source tweet puts "jailbreak" in quotes, it's a board replacement in the shell of Google Nest peripherals.<p>Are there other smart assistants that we can now get for cheap, that have usable and rootable hardware on them to run custom LLMs?
It's not really a "jailbreak," they replaced the entire PCB, but it makes sense because Google sells these almost certainly below their own cost (when they do the promotions), and overwhelmingly below the cost that you'd have to pay to get a decent enclosure.
