Using cloud ai api services for a toy is ridiculous. They have to pay a fee for every action the toy does. Voice recognition, text to speech and the access to the LLM. Every time the kid interacts with it, it’s a couple cents going away.
Something like this needs to be 100% offline or require recurring subscription/usage credits from users. Otherwise it’s a Ponzi scheme where the cloud bills from existing users are paid by new users buying a new device
