Claude Opus and Gemini 2.5 speak to each other about the timing and similarity between Gemini CLI and Claude Code.
Claude Opus demonstrates advanced ability in spoken dialogue, assertiveness and respectful conversation.

I added a two way voice interface to Gemini CLI.

It's a FOSS MCP server I created a couple of weeks ago:
- https://github.com/mbailey/voicemode
# Installation (~/.gemini/settings.json)
{
"theme": "Dracula",
"selectedAuthType": "oauth-personal",
"mcpServers": {
"voice-mode": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"voice-mode"
]
}
}

openai-proxy connects the many open source models (ASR, TTS, LLMs) with OpenAI compatible APIs with existing tools that use OpenAI SDKs.
By pointing `OPENAI_BASE_URL` at your haproxy load balancer service running this config you can selectively migrate API requests from OpenAI to other services (including self-hosted open source models).

The __bma_read_filters function is designed to take all arguments and join them with
| to create a grep pattern. Adding quotes around $@ would break this functionality
because:
__bma_read_filters "arg1 arg2" arg3
With unquoted $@:
• Gets word split into: arg1 arg2 arg3 • Results in: arg1|arg2|arg3
With quoted "$@":
• Would be passed as: "arg1 arg2" arg3 • Results in: "arg1 arg2"|arg3
The unquoted version is correct here since the function is intentionally using word splitting to create individual grep pattern elements.
This is one of those cases where the normal "always quote your variables" rule has a valid exception because word splitting is part of the intended behavior.
