LiveKit retweeted
i've been testing gemini 4 carbon for a while now. i gave it a prd to build a "jarvis" voice assistant and it did it in 4.5hrs with no prompting from me.
i also had it fix bugs in another open source repo, and look for security vulnerabilities.
results in video, thoughts?

We teamed up with @tavus on Night of the Living Agents š» halloween.tavus.io
We ran @MistralAI's Voxtral 3 through LiveKit Simulations with the same agent, same scenarios, over real audio.
Check out the results. And start building today: livek.it/p9KmlCy

Check out how @Harper_Insure cut down average call times by 63% with their LiveKit voice agent!
Get started building your own agents at cloud.livekit.io
Since August, Harley, the voice agent we built on @livekit, has run 10,000+ insurance onboarding calls. Average call time is down 63%, and quotes take two or three seconds on hold, not a day or two.

Want to run open-weights models behind your LiveKit agent? Our friends at @modal built a real-time video avatar on their serverless GPUs and wrote up exactly how they did it, Sticky Sessions included > modal.com/blog/livekit-modal
You can give your @livekit agent a video avatar with open-weight models running on Modal.
We used ours to clone @charles_irl, our GPU Enjoyer in Residence.
Combine LiveKit's programmable audio pipeline with @inworld's state-of-the-art TTS and natural-language steering for emotionally grounded, turn-based dialogue and instant feedback
Our @livekit partner story explores how Inworldās speech models and LiveKitās realtime infrastructure help developers build voice applications that can scale with their users.
Through Inworldās integration with the LiveKit Agents framework, developers can use pre-built or custom voices alongside their choice of LLM and speech recognition models, with LiveKit handling realtime communication across web and mobile apps.
The accompanying video takes a closer look at expressive delivery, including how TTS-2ās voice steering helped the team bring Expressive Mode to LiveKit Agents.
āInworld's TTS-2 marks a real step forward in emotionally expressive voice synthesis. When combined with the conversational intelligence of LiveKit agents, it enables interactions that feel genuinely human, responsive, nuanced, and alive in ways that feel natural.ā - David Zhao, CTO, LiveKit
