QuentinFuxa/WhisperLiveKit v0.2.23

on GitHub

Qwen3-ASR backends, latency work and bug fixes.

Added

• Qwen3-ASR backends: qwen3-streaming (PyTorch, CUDA/MPS/CPU), qwen3-vllm (CUDA), qwen3-vllm-metal (Apple Silicon), via the new qwen3-asr-causal package. The causal streaming mode uses 3x less compute, at constant cost per audio second (English only).
• Prebuilt Docker images on GHCR: ghcr.io/quentinfuxa/whisperlivekit.
• Optional API token auth (--api-token).
• Per-session language and translation target via WebSocket query params.

Fixed

• mode=full sessions no longer lose early lines after 5 minutes (#372).
• REST transcription of long files no longer times out silently (#374).
• qwen3-vllm word timestamps and CJK spacing (#375, thanks @samx81).
• Sortformer memory growth on long sessions (#349).
• Local Sortformer weights: --sortformer-model-path (#378, thanks @felixmr1).
