Thanks for reaching out, Mubbashir. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
It looks like the error is happening because the
WorkerOptions
class doesn’t recognize a parameter named
initialize_timeout
. The right parameter to use here is actually
initialize_process_timeout
. No worries though! You can fix this by simply updating your code to use the correct parameter name. Here’s a quick example:
Copy code
opts = WorkerOptions(
    entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint,
    initialize_process_timeout=15.0  # Correct parameter name
)
Give this a try, and it should clear up the error. If you run into any more questions or need a hand, I’m here to help! Sources: Worker options | LiveKit Docs | livekit-agents/livekit/agents/jupyter.py

session = AgentSession( llm=openai.LLM( model="gpt-4o", temperature=0.3 ), tts = openai.TTS( model="gpt-4o-mini-tts", voice="ash", instructions="Speak in a friendly and conversational tone.", ), # Improved turn detection with longer silence threshold turn_detection=EnglishModel(), vad=silero.VAD.load( min_silence_duration=0.8, min_speech_duration=0.3 ), stt = openai.STT( model="gpt-4o-transcribe", ), ) Is that correct?
t
Your implementation of
AgentSession
looks mostly on the right track! Here are a few important points to double-check: • Make sure the
turn_detection
model you’re using is compatible. For instance,
EnglishModel()
should be a valid choice for turn detection. • Take a moment to verify that the
silero.VAD.load
method is set up correctly, especially with the
min_silence_duration
and
min_speech_duration
parameters. • Also, confirm that your
openai.TTS
and
openai.STT
models are properly initialized and supported in your environment. If you run into any specific challenges or have questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!

utterance_end_ms: 1000
t
Thanks for reaching out! The parameter
utterance_end_ms
isn’t recognized as a valid configuration in LiveKit’s AgentSession or related components, but don’t worry—we do have some similar parameters that help control the end-of-utterance behavior: • `min_endpointing_delay`: This sets the minimum silence duration before we consider the user’s turn complete (usually around 400-500 ms). • `max_endpointing_delay`: This is the maximum time we wait before ending the user’s turn (typically 6 seconds). • There are also STT-specific parameters like
end_of_utterance_silence_trigger
or
endpointing_ms
that handle silence-based utterance detection. If you’re aiming to adjust the end-of-utterance timing, these parameters should be just what you need. Feel free to reach out if you’d like a hand setting them up—I’m here to help!

interrupt_speech_duration=0.5, interrupt_min_words=1, min_endpointing_delay=0.5
t
Thank you for sharing those parameters! They’re indeed important for managing interruption and turn detection in LiveKit: • interrupt_speech_duration: This sets the minimum length of detected speech (in seconds) needed to recognize an interruption. By default, it’s
0.5
seconds. • interrupt_min_words: This defines the minimum number of transcribed words required to count an interruption as valid. The default is
0
, meaning there’s no minimum. • min_endpointing_delay: This is the minimum silence duration (in seconds) before a turn is finalized. The default is
0.5
seconds. Usually, these work hand-in-hand with
allow_interruptions=True
to create a smooth and natural conversation flow. If you'd like, I’m here to help you fine-tune these settings to best fit your needs!
