It represents the culmination of ~2 years of development by the Home Assistant team. They announced 2023 as the "Year of Voice" back in December 2022 [1] and during 2023 they made a lot of leaps forwards in the software, but there has been a lack of off-the-shelf hardware options.
I upgraded my Home Assistant Yellow from a CM4 to a CM5[1], and latency for voice commands was great, going from about 3-4 seconds to 1-2 seconds. Completely local, still.
