https://github.com/livekit/agents/blob/main/examples/other/translation/multi-user-translator.py#L176 how can do i with realtime llm model ? instead of non realtime

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

OpenAI Realtime python language i am using

Great — since you’re using Python and want OpenAI Realtime, here’s a concise, actionable change to the multi-user translator: replace the STT+LLM+TTS pipeline with

openai.realtime.RealtimeModel

. This example shows the minimal edits to your existing script to run a realtime translator that listens and speaks translations. 1) Key edits • Replace separate

stt

,

llm

, and

tts

with a single

openai.realtime.RealtimeModel

. • Provide translator instructions via

instructions

. • Keep VAD for responsiveness (optional). • Optionally set

modalities=[ "text" ]

if you want the model to return text only and use a separate TTS. 2) Minimal example (drop into your current example, adjust imports/agent class as needed):

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from livekit.agents import AgentSession, cli, JobContext
from livekit.plugins import openai, silero

load_dotenv()

class RealTimeTranslatorAgent:
    async def on_enter(self, session: AgentSession):
        await session.say("Starting realtime translator.", language="en")

@cli.multiprocess_worker
async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
    # Configure OpenAI RealtimeModel
    llm = openai.realtime.RealtimeModel(
        voice="alloy",                        # model voice for audio output
        modalities=["audio", "text"],         # enable audio I/O (use ["text"] for text-only responses)
        instructions=(
            "You are a live translator. Listen to the user speaking in any language and "
            "translate their meaning into French unless they request another language."
        ),
        turn_detection=openai.realtime.TurnDetection(
            type="server_vad",
            threshold=0.5,
            prefix_padding_ms=300,
            silence_duration_ms=800,
        ),
    )

    session = AgentSession(
        llm=llm,
        vad=silero.VAD.load()
    )

    await session.start(agent=RealTimeTranslatorAgent(), room=ctx.room)
    await ctx.connect()

3) Optional hybrid modes • If you want the model to only output text (so you can use a custom TTS), set

modalities=["text"]

and add your

tts=

plugin to

AgentSession

. • If you need explicit transcripts for logging or language detection, keep a fast STT and set the realtime model to text-only, then feed transcripts to the model. 4) Env and deps • Ensure env vars:

OPENAI_API_KEY

,

LIVEKIT_*

keys. • Install: pip install livekit-agents[openai,silero] python-dotenv Would you like: • a full patched diff against the exact file line you linked, or • an example that outputs text-only and uses ElevenLabs for French TTS?

i don't want agent session i want code only part that handle llm like below code is for non realtime

Thanks — that helps. Quick answer: I can’t safely give a tested, minimal RealtimeModel-only snippet that’s guaranteed to drop into your code without one clarifying choice first. Please confirm these 3 quick items so I return a concise, usable Python class that only handles the OpenAI Realtime LLM part: 1) Input/output mode (pick one): • audio-in → audio-out (model handles STT+translation+TTS) • text-in → audio-out (you feed transcripts; model speaks translation) • text-in → text-out (you only want translated text) 2) How you’ll supply audio frames (if you picked audio-in): •

rtc.AudioFrame

from LiveKit

AudioStream

• raw PCM bytes / numpy arrays (specify sample rate & channels) 3) How you want outputs delivered (pick one): • async callback functions for audio/text • asyncio.Queue/Chan you will consume • async generator you can iterate Answer those and I’ll send a compact Python class implementing only the Realtime LLM handling (no AgentSession, no room logic), ready to plug into your existing pipeline. Sources: OpenAI Realtime API plugin guide | LiveKit docs | Azure OpenAI Realtime API and LiveKit | LiveKit docs | OpenAI and LiveKit partner to turn Advanced Voice into an API | Agents (Node.js) | livekit/livekit_composite | DeepWiki

1. audio in -> audio out with openai realtime model 2. frame -> rtc.AudioFrame 3. async callback functions for audio all with realtime model

Thanks — I’ll provide a focused Python class that uses the OpenAI Realtime plugin via LiveKit to do audio-in → audio-out with

rtc.AudioFrame

input and async callbacks for translated audio output. This class avoids AgentSession and room logic; it only manages the RealtimeModel/session, pushes audio frames in, and invokes your async callback with output frames. Important: the LiveKit examples expose RealtimeModel and session concepts but don’t show every low-level method. The snippet below follows the same patterns used by LiveKit’s RealtimeModel usage and provides the minimal, practical API you requested. Integrate it into your pipeline by calling

start()

, repeatedly

await push_frame(frame)

, and handling audio via

on_audio

callback.

Notes and integration tips • SDK differences: LiveKit examples use

RealtimeModel.session()

or

await RealtimeModel.create_session()

. The snippet tries

create_session()

first and falls back to

session()

to maximize compatibility with different SDK releases. If your installed SDK has a single known API (

.session()

or

.create_session()

), you can simplify that part. • Input audio stream method names vary: some examples show

.put_frame()

, others

.push_frame()

. The code attempts both. • Event names in sessions: examples use

"track_published"

,

"input_audio_transcription_completed"

, and

"response_text_delta"

. If your SDK uses different event names, replace them accordingly. • The class assumes the model will publish an audio track (translated speech) which we consume via

rtc.AudioStream.from_track(track)

and forward frames to your

on_audio

callback as

rtc.AudioFrame

. This matches an audio-in → audio-out flow. • If you prefer the model to output only text (so you handle TTS yourself), set

modalities=["text"]

on the RealtimeModel and then consume text events instead of published tracks. If you want, I can: • produce a tightened version targeted to your exact installed SDK method names (tell me whether your SDK exposes

.create_session()

or

.session()

and whether input audio stream uses

put_frame

or

push_frame

), or • provide a text-only variant that returns translated text instead of translated audio.
