- Wire up passing speed setting to Groq, even though only a value of 1.0 is supported today
- Update the 55y example to switch voices instead of changing speed
- Add a 55zn example to exercise runtime updates of Groq STT
The only (rare) exception—where a service directly still needs to directly call `self._sync_model_name_to_metrics()`—is when the model name need to be "pulled" from another field (or nested field) in settings up to settings.model on a settings update. This only occurs in Deepgram services, where we use the voice as the model name.
This change has the side-effect of bringing model name to metrics for a number of services that were accidentally omitting it before.
This was added in 31daa889e8, but only
to `RimeTTSService`, not to `RimeNonJsonTTSService. Bringing these
to parity means that users switching between the two, with the same
inputs, have more consistent vocalization behaviors.
Introduce a generic TurnMetricsData class for turn detection metrics,
replacing the service-specific SmartTurnMetricsData (now deprecated).
Add end-to-end processing time measurement to KrispVivaTurn, tracking
the interval from VAD speech-to-silence transition to model threshold
crossing. Consume metrics in the strategy _handle_input_audio path
so they are pushed immediately when fresh.
The Krisp VIVA SDK v1.8.0 requires a license key in globalInit(). Add
api_key parameter to KrispVivaSDKManager, KrispVivaTurn, and
KrispVivaFilter with fallback to KRISP_API_KEY env var. Maintain
backwards compatibility with older SDK versions by catching TypeError
and falling back to the old 3-arg signature.
Brings back the 6 development workflow skills (changelog, cleanup,
code-review, docstring, pr-description, pr-submit) that were moved
to pipecat-ai/skills, and adds a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json so
other pipecat-ai repos can install them. Updates README contributing
section with installation instructions.
Audio filters like RNNoise, KrispViva, and AIC return empty bytes while
buffering audio to accumulate their required frame size. These empty
frames were flowing downstream, causing misleading "Empty audio frame
received for STT service" warnings.
Skip the frame in BaseInputTransport when audio is empty, preventing
unnecessary processing in VAD and downstream processors.
Fixes#3517
These frames were falling through to the else branch and being pushed
downstream, unlike TranscriptionFrame which is explicitly consumed.
This aligns with how the assistant aggregator already filters them.
PR #3776 replaced manual timestamp tracking with stop_ttfb_metrics() in
the timeout handler, but without an end_time it uses time.time() at
timeout expiry—producing TTFB = timeout + stop_secs (~2.2s) instead of
the actual transcript latency.
Restore _last_transcript_time tracking so the timeout handler measures
to when the transcript arrived, and skip reporting if none arrived.
Before this change, settings updates were often not applied. For example, a `TTSUpdateSettingsFrame` queued while the bot was speaking would only have an effect at the end of the bot's reply, and any interruption before the end of the reply would "cancel" the update.
Remove bundled Claude Code skills (changelog, cleanup, code-review,
docstring, pr-description, pr-submit) that now live in
https://github.com/pipecat-ai/skills. Add a section to the README
with installation instructions. The update-docs skill remains as
it is specific to this repository.
This makes each service-specific field individually visible to the delta/update mechanism (`apply_update`, `given_fields`) and removes the need for complex sync logic between `input_params` and top-level fields like `model`.
- Soniox: replace `input_params: SonioxInputParams` with 8 individual fields, simplify `_update_settings` by removing model sync logic, remove unused `is_given` import
- Gladia: replace `input_params: GladiaInputParams` with 11 individual fields, resolve deprecated `language` → `language_config` at init time rather than at `_prepare_settings` time
- Storage mode: for use in `self._settings`. All fields should be specified, i.e. should not be `NOT_GIVEN`.
- Delta mode: for use in `*UpdateSettingsFrame`.
In service of this, this commit:
- Adds a runtime check that all fields are specified in storage mode
- Updates all services to specify all fields in stored settings
- Updates all services to no longer check for `is_given` in stored settings (not necessary anymore)
- Updates relevant docstrings
- Renames `update` to `delta` in `*UpdateSettingsFrame`
- Updates community integrations guide
