It enables real-time voice agents running on servers to detect when a user is speaking or has finished their turn, reducing false interruptions in conversational AI applications.\n\nThe plugin integrates with the broader LiveKit Agents ecosystem, which is designed for building multi-modal, programmable voice agents that can see, hear, and understand. It works alongside other components like speech-to-text, language models, and text-to-speech providers. The package depends on livekit-agents, numpy, and onnxruntime, making it a lightweight addition to an existing agent deployment.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a focused, actively maintained plugin for a specific use case within the LiveKit Agents framework. If you are already building voice agents with LiveKit and need voice activity detection, it offers low friction installation and integrates seamlessly. If you are not using LiveKit Agents, it has no standalone value."},"id":"livekit-plugins-silero","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/livekit-plugins-silero","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/livekit-plugins-silero.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/livekit-plugins-silero/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"livekit-plugins-silero","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Agent Framework Plugin for Silero"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3594523,"position":2568,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.10"}
