GPT-Live voice with Hermes task continuity and Codex background workers on dashboard, terminal and Discord.

  • Subscription authentication is the default. API billing is separately selected with TALK_LIVE_AUTH=api; subscription failure never switches to a paid API key.
  • Browser WebRTC, native subscription WebRTC and native API WebSockets share one Live delegation adapter.
  • Keep talking while work runs, switch tasks and return, steer the original job, handle current approvals, cancel and inspect complete results.
  • Reconnect and audience checks preserve task ownership. Duplicate delegation events cannot launch duplicate jobs.
  • Codex workers use the installed native Codex CLI 0.154.0 executable and the configured workspace/model/approval policy.

Task workers require a compatible Hermes host containing the task-worker APIs, including the merged host change in TheSmokeDev/hermes-agent#9. A Talk plugin update alone does not add these APIs to another host build.

Install the source plugin through Hermes and install [audio,live] dependencies in the host Python environment for native audio. Configuration and operating steps: GPT-Live guide and Codex workers.

Validation: all 11 PR checks passed, including Python 3.11-3.13 on Linux and Windows, plugin scanning, dependency review and CodeQL. Final local suite: 2,266 passed, 48 skipped, 5 expected failures. Wheel and source package contain all 65 declared modules. Real connection-only checks passed for both voice billing options.
