mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 6c718fdda7 feat(parakeet-cpp): VAD (Silero and the Moondream head), vad_model option and gallery entries (#12463)
* feat(parakeet-cpp): implement the VAD call and add the vad_model option

The backend now serves the VAD gRPC call (POST /vad and /v1/vad) with the
standalone VAD of libparakeet. It accepts a Silero VAD GGUF as the model
file, or an ASR model with a VAD head (Moondream Ultra and Redux). The
request audio is float32 PCM at 16 kHz; the response lists the speech
segments in seconds, like the silero-vad backend. A model with neither
fails the request with the library message.

The vad_threshold, vad_min_pause, vad_min_speech, vad_speech_pad and
vad_max_segment options tune the segmenter. Unset values keep the
defaults of the detector in use, and a bad value fails the load.

The vad_model option names a Silero GGUF, resolved against the models
directory like the other companion files. It lets any ASR model cut long
audio at pauses through parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json_vad_with, and
it implies vad. vad:true alone still uses the model's own head.

The new symbols are probed like the existing optional ones. A library
without them still loads; the feature that needs one fails with a clear
message only when it is used.

* feat(gallery): add parakeet-cpp VAD entries and a v3 plus Silero example

Add VAD-only entries for the parakeet-cpp backend: the VAD heads of
Moondream Redux (packed, CPU) and Ultra (Q8_0), which share their files
with the existing ASR entries, and Silero VAD v6.2.3 as a GGUF (MIT,
Silero Team). The parakeet-cpp-vad entry installs Silero; it has no variants,
because variant ranking prefers the larger build that fits and these are
different detectors.

Add parakeet-cpp-tdt-0.6b-v3-silero-vad, a v3 entry that sets vad_model
so long audio is cut at pauses by Silero.

The Silero GGUF entries point at the intended Hugging Face URL of the
file; the existing silero-vad entries are unchanged. A test checks the
usecases, the shared files and the default entry and the vad_model reference.

* docs: describe parakeet-cpp VAD and the vad_model option

Document the VAD endpoint on the parakeet-cpp backend (Silero GGUF and
the VAD heads of Moondream Ultra and Redux), the vad_* tuning options,
and the vad_model option that lets an ASR model without a VAD head cut
long audio with Silero.

* chore(parakeet-cpp): bump parakeet.cpp to 6165e3d

Pin the release that adds the standalone VAD (Ultra/Redux head and
Silero) and the C API calls the backend now uses.

Requirement

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

$ hugo mod graph
hugo: collected modules in 566 ms

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

From the LocalAI repository root, run:

make docs

The Hugo configuration lives in the docs directory. To invoke Hugo directly instead, run:

cd docs
hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
