does the livekit plugin for assembly AI support its newest “Universal Streaming” model? how do i configure it?

Thanks for reaching out, Lawrence. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Great news! The LiveKit plugin for AssemblyAI does support the "Universal Streaming" model. To get it set up, you just need to tweak a few parameters when you initialize the STT client. Here’s a quick rundown:
• *API Key:* Make sure you have your AssemblyAI API key handy—either set it through environment variables or pass it directly as a parameter.
• *Configuration Parameters:* You can customize things like `sample_rate`, `buffer_size_seconds`, and `end_of_turn_confidence_threshold` to get the streaming working just right for you.
• *Initialization:* Plug these settings in when you initialize the STT client to make the most of the Universal Streaming features.
If you want me to walk you through any specific parameters or share some examples, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!
