Shows a working offline chatbot that combines Blenderbot-400M (distilled) for generation and distilbert sentiment via transformers pipeline for real-time sentiment detection, all run with PyTorch tokenization and generation calls. Adds offline speech with pyttsx3 and a Vosk fork for recognition so voice input/output happens locally. Code uses Hugging Face AutoTokenizer and pipeline, treats negative sentiment as a trigger to stop the session, and demonstrates a live dialogue where the system responds empathetically and the demo successfully runs.
