What's New
Switched default TTS to Deepgram Aura and fixed pause-mode audio drop bug
Improvements
- Default TTS provider changed to Deepgram Aura for lower latency.
- Reduced time-to-first-audio and PSTN call gaps.
Bug Fixes
- Pause-mode barge-in no longer drops bot audio after arbitration resolutions.
Upgrade Notes
The pipecat-bot-py example now uses Deepgram Aura by default. If you need the previous OpenAI behavior, set `BOT_TTS_PROVIDER=openai` and `BOT_TTS_MODEL=tts-1`.
