GlaDOS
This is the Personality Core for GLaDOS, the first steps towards a real-life implementation of the AI from the Portal series by Valve.
Stars: 3827
This project aims to create a real-life version of GLaDOS, an aware, interactive, and embodied AI entity. It involves training a voice generator, developing a 'Personality Core,' implementing a memory system, providing vision capabilities, creating 3D-printable parts, and designing an animatronics system. The software architecture focuses on low-latency voice interactions, utilizing a circular buffer for data recording, text streaming for quick transcription, and a text-to-speech system. The project also emphasizes minimal dependencies for running on constrained hardware. The hardware system includes servo- and stepper-motors, 3D-printable parts for GLaDOS's body, animations for expression, and a vision system for tracking and interaction. Installation instructions cover setting up the TTS engine, required Python packages, compiling llama.cpp, installing an inference backend, and voice recognition setup. GLaDOS can be run using 'python glados.py' and tested using 'demo.ipynb'.

This is really tricky, so only for hardcore geeks! Checkout the 'rock5b' branch, and my OpenAI API for the RK3588 NPU system Don't expect support for this, it's in active development, and requires lots of messing about in armbian linux etc.
This is a hardware and software project that will create an aware, interactive, and embodied GLaDOS.
This will entail:
- [x] Train GLaDOS voice generator
- [x] Generate a prompt that leads to a realistic "Personality Core"
- [ ] Generate a MemGPT medium- and long-term memory for GLaDOS
- [ ] Give GLaDOS vision via LLaVA
- [ ] Create 3D-printable parts
- [ ] Design the animatronics system
The initial goals are to develop a low-latency platform, where GLaDOS can respond to voice interactions within 600ms.
To do this, the system constantly records data to a circular buffer, waiting for voice to be detected. When it's determined that the voice has stopped (including detection of normal pauses), it will be transcribed quickly. This is then passed to streaming local Large Language Model, where the streamed text is broken by sentence, and passed to a text-to-speech system. This means further sentences can be generated while the current is playing, reducing latency substantially.
- The other aim of the project is to minimize dependencies, so this can run on constrained hardware. That means no PyTorch or other large packages.
- As I want to fully understand the system, I have removed a large amount of redirection: which means extracting and rewriting code.
This will be based on servo- and stepper-motors. 3D printable STL will be provided to create GlaDOS's body, and she will be given a set of animations to express herself. The vision system will allow her to track and turn toward people and things of interest.
Try this simplified process, but be aware it's still in the experimental stage! For all operating systems, you'll first need to install Ollama to run the LLM.
If you are an Nvidia system with CUDA, make sure you install the necessary drivers and CUDA, info here: https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/install/
If you are using another accelerator (ROCm, DirectML etc.), after following the instructions below for you platform, follow up with installing the best onnxruntime version for your system.
- Download and install Ollama for your operating system.
- Once installed, download a small 2B model for testing, at a terminal or command prompt use:
ollama pull llama3.2
- Open the Microsoft Store, search for
python
and install Python 3.12 - Download this repository, either:
- Download and unzip this repository somewhere in your home folder, or
- If you have Git set up,
git clone
this repository usinggit clone github.com/dnhkng/glados.git
- In the repository folder, run the
install_windows.bat
, and wait until the installation in complete. - Double click
start_windows.bat
to start GLaDOS!
This is still experimental. Any issues can be addressed in the Discord server. If you create an issue related to this, you will be referred to the Discord server. Note: I was getting Segfaults! Please leave feedback!

./start_ubuntu.sh
to start GLaDOS!
To use other models, use the command:
ollama pull {modelname}
and then add {modelname} to glados_config.yaml as the model. You can find more models here!
- If you find you are getting stuck in loops, as GLaDOS is hearing herself speak, you have two options:
- Solve this by upgrading your hardware. You need to you either headphone, so she can't physically hear herself speak, or a conference-style room microphone/speaker. These have hardware sound cancellation, and prevent these loops.
- Disable voice interruption. This means neither you nor GLaDOS can interrupt when GLaDOS is speaking. To accomplish this, edit the
glados_config.yaml
, and changeinterruptible:
tofalse
.
- If you want to the the Text UI, you should use the glados-ui.py file instead of glado.py
You can test the systems by exploring the 'demo.ipynb'.
