Introduction
As Mark 1 is getting older and older, running a voice assistant on it might be a challenge!
This is the reason why HiveMind was born, to solve this challenge by deporting the compute part on a more powerful external device.
A bit of architecture
This video demonstrates how Open Voice OS performs on a Mark II (Raspberry Pi 4) against HiveMind Satellite on a Mark 1 (Raspberry Pi 3B).
The HiveMind Core and Open Voice OS parts are running in a Kubernetes cluster on a Dell R720 server (plenty of compute power 
).
Quick overview of the pods running.:
$ kubectl get pod -o wide -n ovos -o wide -w

Here is quick resources consumption graph related to the HiveMind and Open Voice OS components running on the Kubernetes cluster.
