0.0.48 @pipecat_ai release out today. Lots of good stuff, including...
ᓚᘏᗢ ‣ Server-side (in the Pipecat pipeline) support for @krispHQ's excellent audio processing models. These are commercial models, but if you need state of the art background noise reduction and speaker isolation, they're well worth paying for.
Krisp client-side models are available for free in the @trydaily Web, iOS, and Android SDKs. But for telephony use cases, or if you want to minimize CPU use of your client apps, you can now run Krisp models server-side.
ᓚᘏᗢ ‣ A new @heytavus video avatars pipeline element. Clone yourself. Talk to yourself. Clone your friends. Talk to your friends. Introduce your clone to the clones of your friends and see what happens.
ᓚᘏᗢ ‣ Output audio mixers. Add music or background noise to your voice AI agents. See `examples/foundational/23-bot-background-sound.py`
ᓚᘏᗢ ‣ New frame processor input queues make it easier to sequence things like TTS speech fragments.
@aconchillo named this release after his father, who is in the hospital right now. We are thinking about Aleix and his family.
