v2.6.0 — three new Speaches transcription aliases + explicit idle unload
New first-class LiteLLM aliases on both Speaches CPU and Speaches CUDA:
- local-speaches[-cuda]-whisper-large-v3-turbo
deepdml/faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo-ct2 — ~8x faster than
large-v3 at near-identical WER.
- local-speaches[-cuda]-crisper-whisper
nyrahealth/faster_CrisperWhisper — verbatim transcription that
preserves disfluencies, fillers, repetitions.
- local-speaches[-cuda]-parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3
istupakov/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3-onnx — multilingual (25 EU
languages, upgrade from English-only v2).
Existing whisper-distil and parakeet-v2 aliases untouched.
Idle auto-unload made explicit: STT_MODEL_TTL / TTS_MODEL_TTL set on
both speaches services (default 600s, configurable via
SPEACHES_*_MODEL_TTL env vars). Acts as a safety net alongside the
LiteLLM resource manager's competing-job-arrival unload.
