What's New

Switches Deepgram TTS to default and fixes pause-mode audio drop bug

Improvements

  • Deepgram Aura TTS is now default in the example, improving time-to-first audio.
  • Added `BOT_TTS_MODEL` setting for OpenAI TTS to prevent stalling.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed pause-mode barge-in dropping bot audio after resolution.
  • Corrected playout window logic to handle pause arbitration backlog.

Upgrade Notes

No breaking changes to the core SDK. If running the `pipecat-bot-py` example, note the new `BOT_TTS_MODEL` environment variable for OpenAI TTS.
