Summary
AI summaryRemoved realtime startup prewarm to reduce overhead and added hands‑free live conversation mode.
Full changelog
Hands-free realtime conversation mode, and a leaner on-demand realtime
connection path.
- Live conversation mode for the realtime assistant. Tapping the
assistant hotkey now opens a hands-free, back-and-forth spoken
conversation: talk, listen to the reply, and just keep talking — no
key press between turns, all over one session. The on-screen overlay
shows whose turn it is and animates to the live audio — green while
you speak, blue while the assistant does. The conversation ends on its
own after a short silence or when you say you're done (or instantly on
a second tap / Escape), so it never sits there running up cost. Holding
the hotkey still works exactly as before: hold to talk, release to hear
the full reply. (Talking over the assistant to interrupt it needs
system echo cancellation and is coming next — see the roadmap.) - Removed the realtime startup prewarm. The Gemini Live startup
pre-connect shipped in 0.11.0 only warmed transient DNS/TCP/TLS/
WebSocket caches that go stale within minutes, so it delivered no
reliable latency gain once the daemon had been idle for a while — the
common case — while leaving dead code on the realtime path. It has
been removed; realtime sessions connect strictly on demand at first
use. Push-to-talk behaviour is unchanged.
