docs(readme): announce native voice-detect + face-detect backends in Latest News
Add a Latest News entry for the new from-scratch C++/ggml biometric backends (voice-detect.cpp + face-detect.cpp) that replace the Python insightface and speaker-recognition backends: no Python/onnxruntime at inference, self-contained GGUF, bit-exact parity, GPU cuDNN parity. Mirrors the parakeet.cpp / locate-anything.cpp native-backend news entries. Refs PR #10441. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code]

## Latest News

- **June 2026**: New native biometric backends from the LocalAI team: [voice-detect.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/voice-detect.cpp) for speaker recognition and voice analysis (ECAPA-TDNN, WeSpeaker, ERes2Net, CAM++, wav2vec2 age/gender/emotion) and [face-detect.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/face-detect.cpp) for face detection, recognition, demographics and anti-spoofing (SCRFD/ArcFace, YuNet/SFace). Both are from-scratch C++/ggml engines with no Python or onnxruntime at inference, self-contained GGUF weights, bit-exact parity with the reference, and GPU cuDNN parity, replacing the heavier Python `insightface` and `speaker-recognition` backends ([PR #10441](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10441)).

- **June 2026**: New [realtime voice assistant demo](https://github.com/localai-org/localai-realtime-demo) (a tiny Go client for the Realtime API with a full talk-back voice loop and tool calling), plus [streaming of the realtime LLM / TTS / transcription pipeline stages](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10176) and [configurable WebRTC ICE candidates](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10231).
|

- **June 2026**: Big speech push: the [parakeet.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/parakeet.cpp) ASR engine gains [NeMo-faithful segment timestamps](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10207), a [multilingual streaming Nemotron-3.5 model](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10199), [dynamic batching for concurrent transcription](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10112) and [CUDA graphs](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10273); the new [CrispASR backend](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10099) adds multi-architecture ASR + TTS, and [60 Piper TTS voices across 42 languages](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10296) land in the gallery (plus [per-request TTS instructions and params](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10172)).
|
||||
- **June 2026**: New backends and models: [locate-anything.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10264) for open-vocabulary object detection via ggml, [Ideogram4 image generation](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10201) in stablediffusion-ggml, [llama.cpp video input](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10216), and the [Gemma 4 QAT family with MTP speculative-decoding pairs](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10215). Plus an [interactive CLI chat mode](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10226) and [RAG source citations in agent responses](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10228).
