Remove `examples/` from the `pyrightconfig.json` ignore list and fix
the resulting type errors across all example files. Common fixes:
- Required API keys: `os.getenv("X")` -> `os.environ["X"]` so the
return type is `str` rather than `str | None`, and misconfiguration
fails fast.
- Narrow `LLMContextMessage` union members with `isinstance(..., dict)`
before dict-style access.
- `assert isinstance(params.llm, ...)` before calling service-specific
methods that aren't on the base `LLMService`.
- Guard optional frame fields (e.g. `LLMSearchResponseFrame.search_result`)
before use.
If the WebSocket handshake is cancelled or fails before `keepalive_task`
is assigned (e.g. an STTUpdateSettingsFrame triggers a reconnect during
initial connect), the `finally` block tried to cancel an unbound local.
Initialize `keepalive_task = None` before the try and guard the cancel.
New `XAISTTService` wraps xAI's real-time speech-to-text WebSocket
(`wss://api.x.ai/v1/stt`). It extends `WebsocketSTTService`, authenticates
with the `XAI_API_KEY` as a Bearer token on the WS handshake, and streams
raw audio (PCM/mu-law/A-law) with configurable interim results, endpointing,
language, multichannel, and diarization settings.
- `src/pipecat/services/xai/stt.py`: new service, settings dataclass, and
`language_to_xai_stt_language` helper.
- `src/pipecat/services/stt_latency.py`: `XAI_TTFS_P99` default.
- `pyproject.toml` / `uv.lock`: `xai` extra now pulls in `websockets-base`.
- `README.md`: link to xAI STT in the services table.
- `examples/voice/voice-xai.py`: swap DeepgramSTTService for XAISTTService so
the xAI voice example is fully xAI.
- `examples/transcription/transcription-xai.py`: new transcription-only
example using the new service.
SpeechTimeoutUserTurnStopStrategy previously collapsed two waits into
max(stt_timeout, user_speech_timeout), which over-waited for finalizing
STT services and could also end the turn early in a legacy code path.
Run them as independent timers instead:
- user_speech_timeout: policy floor, always runs to completion.
- stt_timeout: latency safety net, short-circuited by a finalized
transcript since STT has signaled it has nothing more to send.
The no-VAD fallback now waits only user_speech_timeout rather than
max(stt_timeout, user_speech_timeout); stt_timeout is defined relative
to VAD stop and has no meaning when no VAD event occurred. This
shortens the fallback wait for users who set stt_timeout greater than
user_speech_timeout.
* Fix Smallest AI TTS WebSocket endpoint URL to match API documentation
Update base URL from waves-api.smallest.ai to api.smallest.ai and
fix path prefix from /api/v1/ to /waves/v1/ per the v4.0.0 docs.
* Update keepalive using silent space message instead of unsupported flush
Pylance analyzes open files even when they're outside the `include`
set, producing noise in the editor. Adding these paths to `ignore`
suppresses diagnostics without affecting import resolution.
Some TTS providers (e.g. Inworld) return verbatim tokens where spaces and
punctuation are already embedded in the token text. When downstream consumers
join these tokens with an extra space they produce "hello , world" instead of
"hello, world".
Add an opt-in `includes_inter_frame_spaces: bool = False` parameter to
`add_word_timestamps` / `_add_word_timestamps`. The flag is threaded through
`_WordTimestampEntry` and stamped onto every emitted `TTSTextFrame`.
Defaults to `False` — no behaviour change for existing services.
`InworldTTSService` passes `includes_inter_frame_spaces=True` and stops
pre-processing tokens in `_calculate_word_times`, returning them verbatim.
Tests added to `test_tts_frame_ordering.py` covering both HTTP and WebSocket
delivery paths: verbatim text preservation, PTS ordering, text-before-audio
ordering, and the Inworld punctuation-token scenario.
Made-with: Cursor
The two logger.error lines in krisp_instance.py fired at module-load time
whenever anything transitively imported it (e.g. pipecat.turns.user_start
pulling in krisp_viva_ip_user_turn_start_strategy), producing noisy output
for users who never asked for Krisp. Drop the log calls and raise a more
informative ImportError that names the affected classes so direct
importers still get clear guidance.
- Fall back to Language.EN in _primary_detected_language when model is
flux-general-en, preserving prior behavior on the default model.
- Standardize example on DeepgramFluxSTTService.Settings and drop the
now-redundant DeepgramFluxSTTSettings import.
- Narrow the changed-behavior changelog to reflect that flux-general-en
frames still carry Language.EN.
Enables the flux-general-multi model with one or more language_hints.
Hints are sent as repeatable URL params at connect time and via a
Configure control message when updated mid-stream (detect-then-lock).
TranscriptionFrame.language now reflects the language Flux detected
for each turn via the TurnInfo `languages` field.
Add changelog entries for the pyright introduction and the
LiveKitRunnerArguments.token signature tightening. Restore the
indented multi-line format for the WhatsApp missing-env error,
now listing only the vars that are actually missing.
Make required parameters non-optional: LiveKitRunnerArguments.token,
_create_telephony_transport args. Use os.environ[] instead of
os.getenv() for required WhatsApp env vars. Guard spec/loader None
in module loading. Tighten sip_caller_phone guard in daily.py.

SentryMetrics.stop_ttfb_metrics and stop_processing_metrics called the
base FrameProcessorMetrics implementation but discarded its return
value (implicit `return None`). FrameProcessorMetrics.stop_ttfb_metrics
/ stop_processing_metrics build and return a MetricsFrame, which
FrameProcessor.stop_ttfb_metrics / stop_processing_metrics then pushes
downstream so observers (e.g. UserBotLatencyObserver,
MetricsLogObserver) can see TTFB / processing metrics.
Because SentryMetrics returned None, the FrameProcessor never pushed
the MetricsFrame, so any pipeline using metrics=SentryMetrics() on STT
/ LLM / TTS services silently lost all downstream TTFB and processing
MetricsFrames. The metrics were still calculated and logged
internally, and Sentry transactions still finished correctly, but
observers never saw them.
Forward the MetricsFrame returned by the base class so FrameProcessor
can push it into the pipeline.
Use Sequence[FrameProcessor] instead of list[FrameProcessor] in Pipeline,
ServiceSwitcher, and ServiceSwitcherStrategy parameters to accept subtype
lists. Add cast() in LLMSwitcher for narrowed return types. Guard against
None in task_observer._send_to_proxy and replace hasattr with truthiness
check in task._cleanup.
Widen base strategy process_frame return types to ProcessFrameResult |
None to match actual behavior (None treated as CONTINUE). Give
UserTurnCompletionLLMServiceMixin a FrameProcessor base class so pyright
can see create_task, cancel_task, process_frame, and push_frame.
Tighten LLMMessagesAppendFrame and LLMMessagesUpdateFrame message fields
from list[dict] to list[LLMContextMessage] to match actual usage. Add
type annotations on inline message lists in IVR navigator and voicemail
detector.
In token-streaming mode, _push_tts_frames previously stripped only
leading newlines and dropped any pure-whitespace frame. That silently
discarded meaningful inter-token whitespace (e.g. a standalone "\n"
token between "hello" and "world"), losing prosody cues and any
downstream sentence-boundary semantics.
Track whether a non-whitespace character has been sent in the current
context. While the flag is false, strip all leading whitespace; once
true, let whitespace tokens flow through. Reset the flag on
LLMFullResponseEndFrame/EndFrame and on interruption, and save/restore
it around TTSSpeakFrame since each utterance is its own context.
Sentence-aggregation mode preserves the existing behavior.
Group three co-assigned fields (_start_frame_id, _start_frame_arrival_ns,
_start_wall_clock) into a single _StartFrameInfo dataclass. This makes
the "always set together" invariant structural rather than implicit, and
fixes the incorrect str | None annotation on _start_frame_id (Frame.id
is int).
