Vrm

Ten free talking-face engines, one photo, one drawing and one cruel sentence about a man named Bob. What each one did on our RTX 5090, what the licences say, why our lip metric picked the wrong winners, how SoulX-FlashHead Pro got fast enough to go live, and the memory leak we caught before it could eat the PC.

The bridge nobody documents: connect a local Ollama brain to a real-time 3D VRM face with voice, lip-sync and expressions. The four services, the ports they talk on, and the two traps that cost us days, the thinking-mode stall and the open-mic mistake.
