Voice agents that talk over you feel broken. LiveKit Turn Detector v1 fixes that by listening to how you speak, not just the words you say. In this video we break down how it works, run it head to head against text based models, and walk through the benchmark numbers across 14 languages. Then we turn it on in just a few lines of code. Sign up for LiveKit Cloud: https://cloud.livekit.io/signup?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=devrel&utm_content=3qyWxq4b91c The model combines a semantic branch and an acoustic branch into a single end of turn prediction, so your agent knows when you are actually finished instead of jumping in on every pause. v1 is free for agents on LiveKit Cloud and is the default in the Agents SDK, while v1 mini is open access for local and self hosted use. 📚 Resources 📚 Turn detector docs: https://docs.livekit.io/agents/build/turns/turn-detector/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=devrel&utm_content=3qyWxq4b91c Agent docs: https://docs.livekit.io/agents/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=devrel&utm_content=3qyWxq4b91c 🤝 Join the Community: https://community.livekit.io/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=devrel&utm_content=3qyWxq4b91c ⏰ Chapters ⏰ 0:00 Intro 0:33 Live demo: VAD vs v1 2:53 How it works 3:35 Benchmarks 4:20 How to run it 4:33 v1 vs v1-mini #livekit #ai #voiceai
