02/23/2025, 11:52 AMmin_endpointing_delay
, interrupt_speech_duration
, and interrupt_min_words
. These parameters help control the timing of speech detection and response generation, which can impact latency. According to LiveKit documentation, setting a lower min_endpointing_delay
can reduce the time the system waits to determine the end of a user's speech, potentially decreasing latency. Additionally, enabling preemptive_synthesis
might help by starting response generation before the user finishes speaking, though this can be risky if not managed carefully.
Would you like more detailed guidance on configuring these parameters for your specific use case?

02/23/2025, 11:54 AMmin_endpointing_delay
: This parameter defines the minimum silence duration required to detect the end of a user's turn. Reducing this value can help the system respond more quickly by assuming the user has finished speaking sooner. However, setting it too low might cause the system to interrupt the user prematurely. According to LiveKit documentation, a typical starting point is 0.5 seconds, but you can experiment with lower values like 0.2 seconds.
2. interrupt_speech_duration
: This parameter specifies the minimum duration of speech required to consider an interruption. Lowering this value can make the system more responsive to user interruptions, but it might also increase the risk of false positives. A common setting is 0.5 seconds, but you can try reducing it to 0.3 seconds for faster response times.
3. interrupt_min_words
: This parameter sets the minimum number of words needed to trigger an interruption. Setting this to 0 allows any speech to potentially interrupt the agent, which can be useful for quick interactions but may lead to frequent interruptions. Adjusting this to 1 or 2 words can provide a balance between responsiveness and stability.
4. preemptive_synthesis
: Enabling this feature allows the system to start generating a response before the user has finished speaking. This can significantly reduce latency but requires careful handling to avoid cutting off the user. As per LiveKit documentation, this feature is not enabled by default, so you will need to explicitly set it to True
.
5. Network and Deployment Considerations: Ensure that your agent is deployed close to the model servers to minimize network latency. Running the agent in the same region as the model servers can significantly reduce round-trip times for API calls.
Here's an example configuration:
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
vad=silero.VAD.load(),
stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2"),
llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-3.5-turbo"),
tts=cartesia.TTS(),
chat_ctx=initial_ctx,
allow_interruptions=True,
interrupt_speech_duration=0.3,
interrupt_min_words=1,
min_endpointing_delay=0.2,
preemptive_synthesis=True,
before_llm_cb=default_before_llm_cb,
before_tts_cb=default_before_tts_cb
)
By carefully tuning these parameters, you can achieve a more responsive and efficient RAG system with minimal latency.

02/23/2025, 11:57 AMgpt-3.5-turbo
over gpt-4
in the example was made to balance performance and latency. According to LiveKit documentation, gpt-3.5-turbo
is generally faster and more cost-effective than gpt-4
, which can be beneficial in applications where low latency is critical. However, if your application requires the advanced capabilities of gpt-4
, you can certainly use it by specifying gpt-4
or any of its variants in the model
parameter.

02/23/2025, 1:28 PMOnFileUploadedInfo
class is a data structure used to represent information about an uploaded file, specifically an image in this context. The type
attribute is a Literal
type, which means it is expected to be a specific string value, in this case, "image"
. This is not something you need to provide as text; rather, it is a type hint indicating that the type
attribute should always be the string "image"
.
Here's a breakdown of the class attributes:
- type
: This is a Literal
type, which means it should always be set to "image"
. This is used to ensure that the type of file being handled is an image.
- original_file
: This is expected to be an instance of llm.ChatImage
, representing the original image file that was uploaded.
- openai_file_object
: This is expected to be an instance of FileObject
, which likely contains metadata or a reference to the file as it exists in the OpenAI system.
You don't need to provide the type
as text; it is a fixed value that indicates the kind of file being handled. When you create an instance of OnFileUploadedInfo
, you will set the original_file
and openai_file_object
attributes with the appropriate objects.
