pipecat-ai 0.0.83

v0.0.83

on Python PyPI

Added

• Added new frames InputTransportMessageUrgentFrame and DailyInputTransportMessageUrgentFrame for transport messages received from external sources.

• Added UserSpeakingFrame. This will be sent upstream and downstream while VAD detects the user is speaking.

• Expanded support for universal LLMContext to more LLM services. Using the universal LLMContext and associated LLMContextAggregatorPair is a pre-requisite for using LLMSwitcher to switch between LLMs at runtime. Here are the newly-supported services:

  • Azure
  • Cerebras
  • Deepseek
  • Fireworks AI
  • Google Vertex AI
  • Grok
  • Groq
  • Mistral
  • NVIDIA NIM
  • Ollama
  • OpenPipe
  • OpenRouter
  • Perplexity
  • Qwen
  • SambaNova
  • Together.ai

• Added support for WhatsApp User-initiated Calls.

• Added new audio filter AICFilter, speech enhancement for improving VAD/STT performance, no ONNX dependency.
  See https://ai-coustics.com/sdk/

• Added a timeout around cancel input tasks to prevent indefinite hangs when cancellation is swallowed by third-party code.

• Added pipecat.extensions.ivr for automated IVR system navigation with configurable goals and conversation handling. Supports DTMF input, verbal responses, and intelligent menu traversal.

  Basic usage:

  from pipecat.extensions.ivr.ivr_navigator import IVRNavigator
  
  # Create IVR navigator with your goal
  ivr_navigator = IVRNavigator(
      llm=llm_service,
      ivr_prompt="Navigate to billing department to dispute a charge"
  )
  
  # Handle different outcomes
  @ivr_navigator.event_handler("on_conversation_detected")
  async def on_conversation(processor, conversation_history):
      # Switch to normal conversation mode
      pass
  
  @ivr_navigator.event_handler("on_ivr_status_changed")
  async def on_ivr_status(processor, status):
      if status == IVRStatus.COMPLETED:
          # End pipeline, transfer call, or start bot conversation
      elif status == IVRStatus.STUCK:
          # Handle navigation failure

• BaseOutputTransport now implements write_dtmf() by loading DTMF audio and sending it through the transport. This makes sending DTMF generic across all output transports.

• Added new config parameters to GladiaSTTService.

  • PreProcessingConfig > audio_enhancer to enhance audio quality.
  • CustomVocabularyItem > pronunciations and language to specify special pronunciations and in which language it will be pronounced.

Changed

• UserStartedSpeakingFrame and UserStoppedSpeakingFrame are also pushed
  upstream.

• ParallelPipeline now waits for CancelFrame to finish in all branches before pushing it downstream.

• Added sip_codecs to the DailyRoomSipParams.

• Updated the configure() function in pipecat.runner.daily to include new args to create SIP-enabled rooms. Additionally, added new args to control the room and token expiration durations.

• pipecat.frames.frames.KeypadEntry is deprecated and has been moved to pipecat.audio.dtmf.types.KeypadEntry.

• Updated RimeTTSService's flush_audio message to conform with Rime's official API.

• Updated the default model for CerebrasLLMService to GPT-OSS-120B.

Removed

• Remove StopInterruptionFrame. This was a legacy frame that was not being used really anywhere and it didn't provide any useful meaning. It was only pushed after UserStoppedSpeakingFrame, so developers can just use UserStoppedSpeakingFrame.

• DailyTransport.write_dtmf() has been removed in favor of the generic BaseOutputTransport.write_dtmf().

• Remove deprecated DailyTransport.send_dtmf().

Deprecated

• Transports have been re-organized.

  pipecat.transports.network.small_webrtc        -> pipecat.transports.smallwebrtc.transport
  pipecat.transports.network.webrtc_connection   -> pipecat.transports.smallwebrtc.connection
  pipecat.transports.network.websocket_client    -> pipecat.transports.websocket.client
  pipecat.transports.network.websocket_server    -> pipecat.transports.websocket.server
  pipecat.transports.network.fastapi_websocket   -> pipecat.transports.websocket.fastapi
  pipecat.transports.services.daily              -> pipecat.transports.daily.transport
  pipecat.transports.services.helpers.daily_rest -> pipecat.transports.daily.utils
  pipecat.transports.services.livekit            -> pipecat.transports.livekit.transport
  pipecat.transports.services.tavus              -> pipecat.transports.tavus.transport
  

• pipecat.frames.frames.KeypadEntry is deprecated use pipecat.audio.dtmf.types.KeypadEntry instead.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where messages received from the transport were always being resent.

• Fixed SmallWebRTCTransport to not use mid to decide if the transceiver should be sendrecv or not.

• Fixed an issue where Deepgram swallowed asyncio.CancelledError during disconnect, preventing tasks from being cancelled.

• Fixed an issue where PipelineTask was not cleaning up the observers.

Performance

• Reduced latency and improved memory performance in Mem0MemoryService.
