The unlock

Why this one is on the map.

A lighter rendering component for conversational presenters where a large GPU backend may be impractical.

The clearest product signal is “Render a speaking avatar with less hardware”. That interaction model—not a generic AI feature list—is the reason to compare it with the rest of this directory.

This is source code, not a hosted channel. You need to inspect, configure, and deploy it with your own keys and runtime before anything can broadcast.
