I just updated to 1.4.5. Not blocking, but any ideas? Thanks! ---

Do you see that all the time or just once? Looks a little like a network issue but I will try and reproduce. Can you share your agent session setup like what LLM, STT, and TTS you are using? Also can you share all the library versions you are running: Just give the output for this so we can see all the versions: `pip freeze |grep livekit` ---

Hi Mark, I did some testing with this, this morning and it feels like a bug to me, so I’m checking with the team. I can reproduce the issue with `console --text` and using the `flux` model but not with the `nova-3` model, so it’s related to the model, and also related to the WebSocket ping timeout I believe. Other than not using flux during your console tests, there isn’t a workaround as far as I can see. ---

ok, thanks for your answer. I have a lot of noise in the logs, so a bit more it’s ok 🙂 I assume this will fix on its own in a new release i.e. I won’t have to change anything, right? ---

Just to update you, this will be fixed and I’m pretty sure you won’t need to do anything. I see the PR but since it’s related to LK inference, it’s in a private repo.
