+Older news + - **June 2026**: New native biometric backends from the LocalAI team: [voice-detect.cpp](https://github.com/localai-org/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)). @@ -192,6 +203,8 @@ For more details, see the [Getting Started guide](https://localai.io/basics/gett - **August 2025**: MLX, MLX-VLM, Diffusers, llama.cpp now supported on Apple Silicon - **July 2025**: All backends migrated outside the main binary — [lightweight, modular architecture](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/releases/tag/v3.2.0) +
