Thanks for reaching out, rohit. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
I'm glad you're exploring how to send images larger than 64KB to a Python agent! LiveKit’s byte streams are a great way to handle large files and binary data smoothly. Let me walk you through two friendly methods: • Using `send_file`: This is perfect if you have a large image saved on disk. It automatically streams the file in manageable chunks for you. Here’s a simple example:
Copy code
info = await room.local_participant.send_file(
    file_path="path/to/large_image.jpg",
    topic="images",
)
print(f"Sent file with stream ID: {info.stream_id}")
• Using `stream_bytes`: This method lets you send binary data piece by piece, which is great for more control. Here’s how you can do it:
Copy code
writer = await room.local_participant.stream_bytes(
    name="image.jpg",
    topic="images",
    mime_type="image/jpeg"
)
await writer.write(image_chunk_1)
await writer.write(image_chunk_2)
await writer.aclose()
On the receiving side, you can set up a byte stream handler that will catch the image and help you process it smoothly. If you’d like, I’m here to help with any part of this or provide more details—just let me know!

If I wanted to persist context across chats, how would I do that?

Thank you for reaching out! Could you please help me understand a bit more about what you mean by "persist context across chats"? Are you hoping to save chat history, keep track of user-specific information, or something else? Also, are you thinking about maintaining this context within just one session, or across multiple sessions? I’m here to help, so feel free to share more details!

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
