Upstream

Code I sent back out

When something we depend on is missing a piece or quietly broken, the fix belongs upstream rather than in a patch folder. These are merged and shipping inside other people's projects.

  • Sarvam AI TTS plugin

    livekit/agents-js #1038 · Feb 2026

    This is the PR that created the plugin. It ships on npm as @livekit/agents-plugin-sarvam, and without it there is no Sarvam support in the framework at all: 11 Indian languages, 45+ voices, one-shot REST synthesis and WebSocket streaming with sentence tokenisation.

    npm@livekit/agents-plugin-sarvam
  • Sarvam AI STT plugin

    livekit/agents-js #1046 · Feb 2026

    Speech to text on the same plugin. 22+ Indian languages, five transcription modes, WebSocket streaming with VAD events and reconnect on idle.

  • Explicit Sarvam WS and REST toggles

    livekit/agents-js #1057 · Feb 2026

    The streaming and REST paths both existed but you could not choose between them. Now you can, and the default behaviour is unchanged.

  • Added two apps to the showcase
