Qwen3-ASR backends, latency work and bug fixes.
Added
- Qwen3-ASR backends:
qwen3-streaming(PyTorch, CUDA/MPS/CPU),qwen3-vllm(CUDA),qwen3-vllm-metal(Apple Silicon), via the new qwen3-asr-causal package. The causal streaming mode uses 3x less compute, at constant cost per audio second (English only). - Prebuilt Docker images on GHCR:
ghcr.io/quentinfuxa/whisperlivekit. - Optional API token auth (
--api-token). - Per-session language and translation target via WebSocket query params.
Fixed
mode=fullsessions no longer lose early lines after 5 minutes (#372).- REST transcription of long files no longer times out silently (#374).
- qwen3-vllm word timestamps and CJK spacing (#375, thanks @samx81).
- Sortformer memory growth on long sessions (#349).
- Local Sortformer weights:
--sortformer-model-path(#378, thanks @felixmr1).
