LiveKit released Turn Detector v1 on Cloud and a smaller v1-mini bundled with its Agents SDKs for fast CPU inference. The model predicts end-of-turn directly from speech across 14 languages, changing interruption behavior and latency in voice agents.
Realtime TTS-2 ships as a low-latency speech model that conditions on prior audio turns, not just text, and claims sub-200 ms time-to-first-audio across 100+ languages. The release matters for voice-agent stacks because Replicate and LiveKit are already exposing it for real-time integration work.
xAI opened a Grok TTS API with five voices, inline controls for laughter and whispering, and multilingual streaming integrations that quickly landed in LiveKit and fal. Try it for voice products that need real-time playback, telephony formats, and hosted integration paths out of the box.
