SPEECH-TO-SPEECH PROTOCOL OVERHAUL SHIPS, DIFFUSERS FIXES LORA STATE CORRUPTION

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face

The speech-to-speech realtime pipeline just rebuilt its entire response lifecycle to keep audio, transcripts, and tool calls synchronized across WebSocket and WebRTC, while diffusers patched a critical bug where partially unfused LoRA adapters were marked as clean but remained fused in silent components.

The speech-to-speech team landed four interconnected protocol fixes that address the root cause of output lifecycle fragmentation [1][2][3][4]. The changes reserve stable assistant output identities at audio start, align transcript event semantics to emit full completion signals, introduce an explicit backend registry to eliminate conditional duplication, and populate `response.done` with the actual generated output items so clients get a coherent view of what the assistant produced. This is the protocol stabilization that makes tool-calling reliable at scale. On the diffusers side, Aloys Jehwin fixed a state corruption bug where `unfuse_lora(components=[...])` with a component subset would drop adapters from `_merged_adapters` as soon as they unfused from the first component, even though they remained physically baked into the others [5]. The fix recomputes `_merged_adapters` by scanning all loadable components after unmerge. Sayak Paul also fixed torchao test failures [6]. The kernels team opened kernel-kernel dependency support: danieldk added `kernel-depends` to `build.toml` metadata across kernels-data and kernels repos, laying groundwork for kernel composition [7][8], and started testing einops as the first kernel with inter-kernel dependencies [9]. TRL squashed a GRPO loss aggregation bug where the `luspo` branch never applied per-token completion masks elementwise [10] and excluded a buggy TruffleHog detector that was triggering false positives on ordinary 35-character test names [11].
