4.7 shipped on 14 July and never got a blog post or an announcement. Everything in it has reached only the people who read release notes, which is a release worth of work nobody has seen. Added a section near the end covering it: managed voice cloning as a UI workflow with reusable localai://voice-profiles/<id> URIs, the longcat-video backend with audio-driven avatars and talking-head continuation, streaming TTS in vibevoice-cpp taking time to first audio from 39.96s to 2.38s, one-pass diarized transcription in moss-transcribe-cpp, F5-TTS in the CrispASR build, interleaved thinking that survives the tool-result loop, context_size: -1, and per-GPU offload selection. Retitled to "What landed in LocalAI 4.7 and 4.8" and said so in the intro, since a post that silently covers two releases is worse than one that admits it. The filename is unchanged, so the published URL still resolves. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code]
localai.io
The Hugo site served at the root of localai.io. The documentation is a separate
Hugo site in ../docs and is served under /docs/. CI builds both
and uploads them as a single GitHub Pages artifact
(see .github/workflows/gh-pages.yml).
Running locally
From the repository root:
make website # this site only, http://localhost:1313/
make docs # documentation only, http://localhost:1313/docs/
make site # build both, merged into website/public, exactly as CI does
make site-serve # the same merged build, served on http://localhost:8000
make website and make docs run hugo serve, so they pick up edits live but
only cover one site at a time. Use make site-serve when you need the cross
links between the two sites, or the redirects from the pre-split URLs, to work.
make site also runs .github/ci/gen-redirects.sh, which leaves a meta-refresh
page at every URL the documentation used to occupy before it moved under
/docs/. GitHub Pages has no server-side redirects, so those files are the only
thing keeping the old links alive.
Set SITE_BASE_URL to change the base URL the merged build is generated for
(default http://localhost:8000).
