Underdog Demos Browser-Native 'Woof,' a 31.7MB, 31M-Param Speech-and-Music Model That Runs Fully Offline

Underdog, a startup founded by Sigil Wen, demoed Woof on Nov 6: a 31.7MB, 31M-parameter speech-and-music model that runs entirely in the browser with no network calls, driven from a typewriter UI inside an interactive game. The company previously released Bark (167MB speech-to-text) and a 27B laptop model, positioning its stack as a privacy-first American-made alternative to cloud assistants like Muse and Instinct.
