PR #57769 fixes offline LLM.generate with Whisper crashing on clips over 30 seconds with a tensor size mismatch, after which every later request returns EngineDeadError. The chain: an earlier PR passed truncation=False to HF processors so placeholder text wouldn't be cut, WhisperProcessor forwards that to WhisperFeatureExtractor, which stops truncating audio to its 30-second window, so a 35-second clip becomes 3500 frames and 1750 post-conv positions against a 1500-position encoder. Server transcription endpoints chunk to 30 seconds first and are unaffected, so this only bit offline users. v0.26.0 handled the same input.

The repo reached 9,740 stars with roughly double the next-fastest Python project's daily gain. It exposes a VAD → STT → LLM → TTS pipeline behind an OpenAI Realtime-compatible WebSocket API with every stage swappable: Parakeet TDT as default STT (Whisper, Paraformer alternativ...
0.35 adds gpt-6-astra to the CLI's OpenAI provider, so llm -m gpt-6-astra works against the same logging, template and fragment machinery as every other model in the tool. For anyone scripting cross-model evals, that means a new frontier model needs zero new plumbing to enter...
Satya Nadella said companies routing everything through a single proprietary lab may not survive. His argument: you hand that lab your most sensitive business context, and the lab can turn it against you as a competitor. His prescription is an orchestration layer — keep the ha...

This MIT Python plugin (+434 today) takes a video URL or local path with a question: pulls native captions first, falls back to Whisper via Groq or OpenAI, extracts frames with ffmpeg, dedupes near-identical frames to save tokens, and hands Claude timestamped images aligned to...
