Hacking on realtime AI orchestration stuff (@pipecat_ai), while heading across town to a hackathon in a self-driving AI car (@Waymo) hasn't started to feel like old hat, yet.
This morning's merged PR is a little one, though: making turn detection (phrase endpointing) fully configurable in the @OpenAI Realtime AI service. Now you can use OpenAI's built-in turn detection, or turn detection in the Pipecat pipeline.
This makes it a little easier to:
1. Switch between models without changing or adding extra complexity to your Pipeline code
2. Test, debug, and write evals for the real-world performance of turn detection
PR is here[1]
Here's how to enable/disable the OpenAI built-in turn detection[2]
