The "Bump Backend dependencies" workflow has failed every night for over ten days. Four upstreams — ced.cpp, moss-transcribe.cpp, voice-detect.cpp and rf-detr.cpp — moved from the mudler org to localai-org, so the GitHub API answers 301 for the old slugs. ced.cpp additionally renamed its default branch to main. bump_deps.sh fetched without -L or -f and never checked the response, so the redirect's JSON body was passed straight to sed, which died with "unterminated `s' command". The loud failure was luck: an error body without slashes would have been substituted into the Makefile as the new pin, silently corrupting the version and shipping it in a bump PR. Point the matrix at the new slugs and branch, and harden the script so a bad response can never reach sed: follow redirects, fail on HTTP errors, and require a bare 40-hex SHA before rewriting anything. Also refresh the now-stale repository URLs in the backend Makefiles, test scripts, backend/index.yaml and the docs. Verified all 25 matrix entries resolve to a commit SHA and that the four previously-failing jobs run end to end against the real API.

## 2026 Highlights
|
|
|
|
- **July 2026**: [LongCat video and avatar generation](/features/video-generation/) - dedicated CUDA backend for `LongCat-Video` text/image-to-video and `LongCat-Video-Avatar-1.5` speech-driven avatars. Includes multi-segment continuation, portrait and recorded-audio inputs in Studio, and an SDPA CUDA 13 ARM64 build for DGX Spark.
|
|
- **April 2026**: [Audio Transform](/features/audio-transform/) - generic audio-in / audio-out endpoint with optional reference signal. First implementation: [LocalVQE](https://github.com/localai-org/LocalVQE) C++ backend (joint AEC + noise suppression + dereverberation, DeepVQE-style). Both batch (`POST /audio/transformations`) and bidirectional WebSocket streaming (`/audio/transformations/stream`). Studio "Transform" tab with synchronized waveform players for input / reference / output.
|
|
- **April 2026**: [Face recognition backend](/features/face-recognition/) - `insightface`-powered 1:1 verification, 1:N identification, face embedding, face detection, and demographic analysis. Ships both a non-commercial `buffalo_l` model and an Apache 2.0 OpenCV Zoo alternative.
|
|
- **May 2026**: [Speaker diarization](/features/audio-diarization/) - new `/v1/audio/diarization` endpoint returning "who spoke when" segments. Backed by `sherpa-onnx` (pyannote-3.0 + speaker embeddings + clustering) for pure diarization, and `vibevoice-cpp` for diarization bundled with long-form ASR. Supports `json` / `verbose_json` / `rttm` response formats.
|
|
- **June 2026**: [Sound classification](/features/audio-classification/) - new `/v1/audio/classification` endpoint for audio tagging / sound-event classification, returning scored [AudioSet](https://research.google.com/audioset/) labels (baby cry, glass breaking, alarms, ...). Backed by [ced.cpp](https://github.com/localai-org/ced.cpp), a 527-class AudioSet tagger ported to ggml.
|
|
- **June 2026**: [PII analyze / redact API](/features/middleware/#analyze--redact-api) - the PII detection pipeline (NER + restricted-regex pattern tiers) is now a standalone service: `POST /api/pii/analyze` returns detected entity spans and `POST /api/pii/redact` returns the sanitised text (or `400 pii_blocked`), without routing a chat request through the middleware. Events gain an `origin` (`middleware` / `proxy` / `pii_analyze` / `pii_redact`) so `/api/pii/events` can be filtered by source.
|
|
- **July 2026**: [Model capabilities endpoint](/features/api-discovery/#model-capabilities) - `GET /v1/models/capabilities`, an additive superset of `/v1/models` that reports each model's `capabilities` plus its `input_modalities` / `output_modalities` (`text` / `image` / `audio` / `video`). Lets clients route attachments using inferred or explicitly declared model modalities instead of backend-name checks.
|
|
- **June 2026**: Concurrent scoring and PII NER on llama.cpp - the `Score` (router classifier) and `TokenClassify` (PII NER) primitives now ride llama.cpp's server task queue instead of locking the context, so they run concurrently with chat/completion/embedding traffic and with each other. The `known_usecases` restriction that forced dedicated scorer/NER model configs on llama-cpp is lifted, repeated scoring calls reuse the prompt KV cache across candidates, and scoring inputs are no longer capped by the physical batch size.
