Introduce SonioxTTSService, a WebSocket TTS provider that streams text and
receives audio over a persistent connection, multiplexing up to 5 concurrent
streams per socket via Soniox's `stream_id`. Also updates the README service
table and the Soniox voice example to use the new TTS end-to-end.
Adds XAITTSService in the existing xai/tts.py module, alongside the
existing XAIHttpTTSService. Connects to xAI's streaming endpoint at
wss://api.x.ai/v1/tts, streams text.delta chunks up and base64 audio.delta
chunks down on the same connection so audio starts flowing before the full
utterance is synthesized.
Extends InterruptibleTTSService since xAI's protocol is strictly sequential
per connection and exposes neither a cancel verb nor a context ID — the
only way to stop an in-flight utterance is to tear down the WebSocket,
which is exactly what InterruptibleTTSService does on interruption when
the bot is speaking.
Voice, language, codec, and sample_rate are passed as query-string params
at connect time; runtime setting changes reconnect the socket. Defaults to
raw PCM so emitted TTSAudioRawFrame objects need no decoding downstream.
Splits the existing example into voice-xai.py (WebSocket) and
voice-xai-http.py (batch HTTP) so each variant has its own entry point.
Promotes the xai extra to depend on pipecat-ai[websockets-base] since the
new service imports the websockets library.
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.
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.

Add SmallestSTTService using the Pulse WebSocket API for real-time
transcription. Includes SmallestSTTSettings dataclass, 32-language
support with resolve_language fallback, VAD-driven finalize signal,
and SMALLEST_TTFS_P99 latency constant.
Also adds X-Source and X-Pipecat-Version headers to Smallest STT
and TTS WebSocket connections.
Example files like openai.py shadow installed packages when Python adds the
script directory to sys.path. Prepend the parent folder name to each example
file (e.g. openai.py -> function-calling-openai.py). Also split
thinking-and-mcp/ into separate mcp/ and thinking/ directories.
Replace the nested services/speech/ and services/function-calling/ with
top-level voice/ and function-calling/ directories. Update eval script
paths and README to match.
