🎙️Underdog Ships 31M-Parameter Voice Model and a 32MB Browser Game

Your next voice app could run with zero cloud calls

Underdog just shipped a voice model small enough to run on your laptop, and it proved the point with a game. The game is called Woof, it's 32MB, and it runs in the browser. The model behind it has 31 million parameters, it's open for anyone to download, and it works without an internet connection on most devices. Why should you care? Because the usual voice stack sends every audio clip to a cloud provider and bills you for it. Underdog is betting that local assistants and personalized podcast generation can run on hardware you already own. If you're prototyping voice features, this is a free thing to test before you sign another API contract. The lineup is bigger than the game. Bark is a 167MB speech-to-text model aimed at transcription and dictation. Separately, Underdog released a 27-billion-parameter model that runs on laptops, and it's positioning a waitlisted app as a locally hosted alternative to Muse and Instinct. The company says it wants to get most capable models running on devices people own within months. Watch the waitlisted app. Local-first promises are cheap until you see real latency numbers on real hardware.
