### Changed
- `GeminiMultimodalLiveLLMService` now uses the user transcription and usage
metrics provided by Gemini Live.
- `GoogleLLMService` has been updated to use `google-genai` instead of the
deprecated `google-generativeai`.
### Removed
- Since `GeminiMultimodalLiveLLMService` now transcribes it's own audio, the
`transcribe_user_audio` arg has been removed. Audio is now transcribed
automatically.
- Removed `SileroVAD` frame processor, just use `SileroVADAnalyzer`
instead. Also removed, `07a-interruptible-vad.py` example.
