llama.cpp already supports /v1/realtime for local speech-to-speech chat with LFM3-Omni

ngxson · x · 2026-11-16

Developer ngxson points out that llama.cpp's server has supported an OpenAI-style /v1/realtime endpoint for a while, enabling fully local speech-to-speech chat with omnimodal models like LFM3-Omni.

Per the README, the API supports both realtime (conversation) and transcription session types, takes PCM16 mono audio input with server-side resampling, and is configurable via session.update — no OpenAI API needed to build a real-time voice assistant locally.
