+| The development of renewable energy sources is crucial for a sustainable future | 0.8760s | 1.5589s | 0.6x |
+
+**Results:**
+- Total Standard time: 4.1068s
+- Total CTranslate2 time: 8.5476s
+- CTranslate2 is slower on this system --> Use Transformers, and ideally we would have an mlx implementation.

+# 3. SortFormer Diarization: 4-to-2 Speaker Constraint Algorithm
+
+Transform a diarization model that predicts up to 4 speakers into one that predicts up to 2 speakers by mapping the output predictions.
+
+## Problem Statement
+- Input: `self.total_preds` with shape `(x, x, 4)` - predictions for 4 speakers
+- Output: Constrained predictions with shape `(x, x, 2)` - predictions for 2 speakers
+
+#
+### Initial Setup
+For each time step `i`, we have a ranking of 4 speaker predictions (1-4). When only 2 speakers are present, the model will have close predictions for the 2 active speaker positions.
+
+Instead of `np.argmax(preds_np, axis=1)`, we take the top 2 predictions and build a dynamic 4→2 mapping that can evolve over time.
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```python
+top_2_speakers = np.argsort(preds_np, axis=1)[:, -2:]
+```
+
+- `DS_a_{i}`: Top detected speaker for prediction i
+- `DS_b_{i}`: Second detected speaker for prediction i  
+- `AS_{i}`: Attributed speaker for prediction i
+- `GTS_A`: Ground truth speaker A
+- `GTS_B`: Ground truth speaker B
+- `DIST(a, b)`: Distance between detected speakers a and b
+
+3. **Attribution Logic**
+
+```
+AS_0 ← A
+
+AS_1 ← B
+
+IF DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_1) < DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_2) AND 
+    DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_1) < DIST(DS_a_1, DS_a_2):
+    # Likely that DS_a_0 = DS_a_1 (same speaker)
+    AS_1 ← A
+    AS_2 ← B
+
+ELIF DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_2) < DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_1) AND 
+    DIST(DS_a_0, DS_a_2) < DIST(DS_a_1, DS_a_2):
+    AS_2 ← A
+
+ELSE:
+    AS_2 ← B

-### Key Features
+> **Why not just run a simple Whisper model on every audio batch?** Whisper is designed for complete utterances, not real-time chunks. Processing small segments loses context, cuts off words mid-syllable, and produces poor transcription. WhisperLiveKit uses state-of-the-art simultaneous speech research for intelligent buffering and incremental processing.
 
-- **Real-time Transcription** - Locally (or on-prem) convert speech to text instantly as you speak
-- **Speaker Diarization** - Identify different speakers in real-time using [Diart](https://github.com/juanmc2005/diart)
-- **Multi-User Support** - Handle multiple users simultaneously with a single backend/server
-- **Automatic Silence Chunking** – Automatically chunks when no audio is detected to limit buffer size
-- **Confidence Validation** – Immediately validate high-confidence tokens for faster inference (WhisperStreaming only)
-- **Buffering Preview** – Displays unvalidated transcription segments (not compatible with SimulStreaming yet)
-- **Punctuation-Based Speaker Splitting [BETA]** - Align speaker changes with natural sentence boundaries for more readable transcripts
-- **SimulStreaming Backend** - [Dual-licensed](https://github.com/ufal/SimulStreaming#-licence-and-contributions) - Ultra-low latency transcription using SOTA AlignAtt policy.

-## 🔧 How It Works
 
-1. **Audio Capture**: Browser's MediaRecorder API captures audio in webm/opus format
-2. **Streaming**: Audio chunks are sent to the server via WebSocket
-3. **Processing**: Server decodes audio with FFmpeg and streams into the model for transcription
-4. **Real-time Output**: Partial transcriptions appear immediately in light gray (the 'aperçu') and finalized text appears in normal color

+
+### 🚀 Deployment Guide
 
 To deploy WhisperLiveKit in production:
-
-1. **Server Setup** (Backend):
+ 
+1. **Server Setup**: Install production ASGI server & launch with multiple workers
    ```bash
-   # Install production ASGI server
    pip install uvicorn gunicorn
-
-   # Launch with multiple workers
    gunicorn -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -w 4 your_app:app
    ```
 
-2. **Frontend Integration**:
-   - Host your customized version of the example HTML/JS in your web application
-   - Ensure WebSocket connection points to your server's address
+2. **Frontend**: Host your customized version of the `html` example & ensure WebSocket connection points correctly
 
 3. **Nginx Configuration** (recommended for production):
     ```nginx    
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name your-domain.com;
-
-    location / {
-        proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
-        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
-        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
-        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        location / {
+            proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
+            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+            proxy_set_header Host $host;
     }}
     ```
 
 4. **HTTPS Support**: For secure deployments, use "wss://" instead of "ws://" in WebSocket URL
 
-### 🐋 Docker
+## 🐋 Docker
 
-A basic Dockerfile is provided which allows re-use of Python package installation options. ⚠️ For **large** models, ensure that your **docker runtime** has enough **memory** available. See below usage examples:
+Deploy the application easily using Docker with GPU or CPU support.
 
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker installed on your system
+- For GPU support: NVIDIA Docker runtime installed
 
-#### All defaults
-- Create a reusable image with only the basics and then run as a named container:
-    ```bash
-    docker build -t whisperlivekit-defaults .
-    docker create --gpus all --name whisperlivekit -p 8000:8000 whisperlivekit-defaults
-    docker start -i whisperlivekit
-    ```
+### Quick Start
+
+**With GPU acceleration (recommended):**
+```bash
+docker build -t wlk .
+docker run --gpus all -p 8000:8000 --name wlk wlk
+```
+
+**CPU only:**
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t wlk .
+docker run -p 8000:8000 --name wlk wlk
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+**Custom configuration:**
+```bash
+# Example with custom model and language
+docker run --gpus all -p 8000:8000 --name wlk wlk --model large-v3 --language fr
+```
+
+### Memory Requirements
+- **Large models**: Ensure your Docker runtime has sufficient memory allocated
 
-    > **Note**: If you're running on a system without NVIDIA GPU support (such as Mac with Apple Silicon or any system without CUDA capabilities), you need to **remove the `--gpus all` flag** from the `docker create` command. Without GPU acceleration, transcription will use CPU only, which may be significantly slower. Consider using small models for better performance on CPU-only systems.
 
 #### Customization
-- Customize the container options:
-    ```bash
-    docker build -t whisperlivekit-defaults .
-    docker create --gpus all --name whisperlivekit-base -p 8000:8000 whisperlivekit-defaults --model base
-    docker start -i whisperlivekit-base
-    ```
 
 - `--build-arg` Options:
-  - `EXTRAS="whisper-timestamped"` - Add extras to the image's installation (no spaces). Remember to set necessary container options!
+  - `EXTRAS="translation"` - Add extras to the image's installation (no spaces). Remember to set necessary container options!
   - `HF_PRECACHE_DIR="./.cache/"` - Pre-load a model cache for faster first-time start
   - `HF_TKN_FILE="./token"` - Add your Hugging Face Hub access token to download gated models
 
 ## 🔮 Use Cases
 Capture discussions in real-time for meeting transcription, help hearing-impaired users follow conversations through accessibility tools, transcribe podcasts or videos automatically for content creation, transcribe support calls with speaker identification for customer service...

+# WhisperLiveKit WebSocket API Documentation
+
+> !! **Note**: The new API structure described in this document is currently under deployment. 
+This documentation is intended for devs who want to build custom frontends.
+
+WLK provides real-time speech transcription, speaker diarization, and translation through a WebSocket API. The server sends incremental updates as audio is processed, allowing clients to display live transcription results with minimal latency.
+
+---
+
+## Legacy API (Current)
+
+### Message Structure
+
+The current API sends complete state snapshots on each update (several time per second)
+
+```typescript
+{
+  "type": str,
+  "status": str,
+  "lines": [
+    {
+      "speaker": int,
+      "text": str,
+      "start": float,
+      "end": float,
+      "translation": str | null,
+      "detected_language": str
+    }
+  ],
+  "buffer_transcription": str,
+  "buffer_diarization": str,
+  "remaining_time_transcription": float,
+  "remaining_time_diarization": float
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## New API (Under Development)
+
+### Philosophy
+
+Principles:
+
+- **Incremental Updates**: Only updates and new segments are sent
+- **Ephemeral Buffers**: Temporary, unvalidated data displayed in real-time but overwritten on next update, at speaker level
+
+
+## Message Format
+
+
+```typescript
+{
+  "type": "transcript_update",
+  "status": "active_transcription" | "no_audio_detected",
+  "segments": [
+    {
+      "id": number,
+      "speaker": number,
+      "text": string,
+      "start_speaker": float,
+      "start": float,
+      "end": float,
+      "language": string | null,
+      "translation": string,
+      "words": [
+        {
+          "text": string,
+          "start": float,
+          "end": float,
+          "validated": {
+            "text": boolean,
+            "speaker": boolean,
+          }
+        }
+      ],
+      "buffer": {
+        "transcription": string,
+        "diarization": string,
+        "translation": string
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  "metadata": {
+    "remaining_time_transcription": float,
+    "remaining_time_diarization": float
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Other Message Types
+
+#### Config Message (sent on connection)
+```json
+{
+  "type": "config",
+  "useAudioWorklet": true / false
+}
+```
+
+#### Ready to Stop Message (sent after processing complete)
+```json
+{
+  "type": "ready_to_stop"
+}
+```

+## Field Descriptions
+
+### Segment Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | `number` | Unique identifier for this segment. Used by clients to update specific segments efficiently. |
+| `speaker` | `number` | Speaker ID (1, 2, 3...). Special value `-2` indicates silence. |
+| `text` | `string` | Validated transcription text for this update. Should be **appended** to the segment's text on the client side.  |
+| `start_speaker` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) when this speaker segment began. |
+| `start` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) of the first word in this update. |
+| `end` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) of the last word in this update. |
+| `language` | `string \| null` | ISO language code (e.g., "en", "fr"). `null` until language is detected. |
+| `translation` | `string` | Validated translation text for this update. Should be **appended** to the segment's translation on the client side. |
+| `words` | `Array` | Array of word-level objects with timing and validation information. |
+| `buffer` | `Object` | Per-segment temporary buffers, see below |
+
+### Word Object
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `text` | `string` | The word text. |
+| `start` | `number` | Start timestamp (seconds) of this word. |
+| `end` | `number` | End timestamp (seconds) of this word. |
+| `validated.text` | `boolean` | Whether the transcription text has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: transcription |
+| `validated.speaker` | `boolean` | Whether the speaker assignment has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: diarization |
+| `validated.language` | `boolean` | Whether the language detection has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: translation |
+
+### Buffer Object (Per-Segment)
+
+Buffers are **ephemeral**. They should be displayed to the user but not stored permanently in the frontend. Each update may contain a completely different buffer value, and previous buffer is likely to be in the next validated text.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `transcription` | `string` | Pending transcription text. Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+| `diarization` | `string` | Pending diarization text (text waiting for speaker assignment). Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+| `translation` | `string` | Pending translation text. Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+
+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `remaining_time_transcription` | `float` | Seconds of audio waiting for transcription processing. |
+| `remaining_time_diarization` | `float` | Seconds of audio waiting for speaker diarization. |
+
+### Status Values
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `active_transcription` | Normal operation, transcription is active. |
+| `no_audio_detected` | No audio has been detected yet. |
+
+---
+
+## Update Behavior
+
+### Incremental Updates
+
+The API sends **only changed or new segments**. Clients should:
+
+1. Maintain a local map of segments by ID
+2. When receiving an update, merge/update segments by ID
+3. Render only the changed segments
+
+### Language Detection
+
+When language is detected for a segment:
+
+```jsonc
+// Update 1: No language yet
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {"id": 1, "speaker": 1, "text": "May see", "language": null}
+  ]
+}
+
+// Update 2: Same segment ID, language now detected
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {"id": 1, "speaker": 1, "text": "Merci", "language": "fr"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Client behavior**: **Replace** the existing segment with the same ID.
+
+### Buffer Behavior
+
+Buffers are **per-segment** to handle multi-speaker scenarios correctly.
+
+#### Example: Translation with diarization and translation
+
+```jsonc
+// Update 1
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {
+      "id": 1,
+      "speaker": 1,
+      "text": "Hello world, how are",
+      "translation": "",
+      "buffer": {
+        "transcription": "",
+        "diarization": " you on",
+        "translation": "Bonjour le monde"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+
+// ==== Frontend ====
+// <SPEAKER>1</SPEAKER>
+// <TRANSCRIPTION>Hello world, how are <DIARIZATION BUFFER> you on</DIARIZATION BUFFER></TRANSCRIPTION>
+// <TRANSLATION><TRANSLATION BUFFER>Bonjour le monde</TRANSLATION BUFFER></TRANSLATION>
+
+
+// Update 2
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {
+      "id": 1,
+      "speaker": 1,
+      "text": " you on this",
+      "translation": "Bonjour tout le monde",
+      "buffer": {
+        "transcription": "",
+        "diarization": " beautiful day",
+        "translation": ",comment"
+      }
+    },
+  ]
+}
+
+
+// ==== Frontend ====
+// <SPEAKER>1</SPEAKER>
+// <TRANSCRIPTION>Hello world, how are you on this<DIARIZATION BUFFER>  beautiful day</DIARIZATION BUFFER></TRANSCRIPTION>
+// <TRANSLATION>Bonjour tout le monde<TRANSLATION BUFFER>, comment</TRANSLATION BUFFER><TRANSLATION>
+```
+
+### Silence Segments
+
+Silence is represented with the speaker id = `-2`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "id": 5,
+  "speaker": -2,
+  "text": "",
+  "start": 10.5,
+  "end": 12.3
+}
+```

+# Models and Model Paths
+
+## Defaults
+
+**Default Whisper Model**: `base`  
+When no model is specified, WhisperLiveKit uses the `base` model, which provides a good balance of speed and accuracy for most use cases.
+
+**Default Model Cache Directory**: `~/.cache/whisper`  
+Models are automatically downloaded from OpenAI's model hub and cached in this directory. You can override this with `--model_cache_dir`.
+
+**Default Translation Model**: `600M` (NLLB-200-distilled)  
+When translation is enabled, the 600M distilled NLLB model is used by default. This provides good quality with minimal resource usage.
+
+**Default Translation Backend**: `transformers`  
+The translation backend defaults to Transformers. On Apple Silicon, this automatically uses MPS acceleration for better performance.
+
+---
+
+
+## Available Whisper model sizes:
+
+| Available Model    | Speed    | Accuracy  | Multilingual | Translation | Hardware Requirements | Best Use Case                   |
+|--------------------|----------|-----------|--------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------------------|
+| tiny(.en)          | Fastest  | Basic     | Yes/No       | Yes/No      | ~1GB VRAM            | Real-time, low resources         |
+| base(.en)          | Fast     | Good      | Yes/No       | Yes/No      | ~1GB VRAM            | Balanced performance             |
+| small(.en)         | Medium   | Better    | Yes/No       | Yes/No      | ~2GB VRAM            | Quality on limited hardware      |
+| medium(.en)        | Slow     | High      | Yes/No       | Yes/No      | ~5GB VRAM            | High quality, moderate resources |
+| large-v2           | Slowest  | Excellent | Yes          | Yes         | ~10GB VRAM           | Good overall accuracy & language support          |
+| large-v3           | Slowest  | Excellent | Yes          | Yes         | ~10GB VRAM           | Best overall accuracy & language support                |
+| large-v3-turbo     | Fast     | Excellent | Yes          | No          | ~6GB VRAM            | Fast, high-quality transcription |
+
+
+### How to choose?
+
+#### Language Support
+- **English only**: Use `.en` (ex: `base.en`) models for better accuracy and faster processing when you only need English transcription
+- **Multilingual**: Do not use `.en` models.
+      
+#### Special Cases
+- **No translation needed**: Use `large-v3-turbo`
+  - Same transcription quality as `large-v2` but significantly faster
+  - **Important**: Does not translate correctly, only transcribes
+
+### Additional Considerations
+
+**Model Performance**:
+- Accuracy improves significantly from tiny to large models
+- English-only models are ~10-15% more accurate for English audio
+- Newer versions (v2, v3) have better punctuation and formatting
+
+**Audio Quality Impact**:
+- Clean, clear audio: smaller models may suffice
+- Noisy, accented, or technical audio: larger models recommended
+- Phone/low-quality audio: use at least `small` model
+
+_______________________
+
+
+# Custom Models:
+
+The `--model-path` parameter accepts:
+
+## File Path
+- **`.pt` / `.bin` / `.safetensor` formats** Should be openable by pytorch/safetensor.
+
+## Directory Path (recommended)
+Must contain:
+- **`.pt` / `.bin` / `.safetensor` file** (required for decoder)
+
+May optionally contain:
+- **`.bin` file** - faster-whisper model for encoder (requires faster-whisper)
+- **`weights.npz`** or **`weights.safetensors`** - for encoder (requires whisper-mlx)
+
+## Hugging Face Repo ID
+- Provide the repo ID (e.g. `openai/whisper-large-v3`) and WhisperLiveKit will download and cache the snapshot automatically. For gated repos, authenticate via `huggingface-cli login` first.
+
+To improve speed/reduce hallucinations, you may want to use `scripts/determine_alignment_heads.py` to determine the alignment heads to use for your model, and use the `--custom-alignment-heads` to pass them to WLK. If not, alignment heads are set to be all the heads of the last half layer of decoder.
+
+

+
+# Translation Models and Backend
+
+**Language Support**: ~200 languages
+
+## Distilled Model Sizes Available
+
+| Model | Size | Parameters | VRAM (FP16) | VRAM (INT8) | Quality |
+|-------|------|------------|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| 600M | 2.46 GB | 600M | ~1.5GB | ~800MB | Good, understandable |
+| 1.3B | 5.48 GB | 1.3B | ~3GB | ~1.5GB | Better accuracy, context |
+
+**Quality Impact**: 1.3B has ~15-25% better BLEU scores vs 600M across language pairs.
+
+## Backend Performance
+
+| Backend | Speed vs Base | Memory Usage | Quality Loss |
+|---------|---------------|--------------|--------------|
+| CTranslate2 | 6-10x faster | 40-60% less | ~5% BLEU drop |
+| Transformers | Baseline | High | None |
+| Transformers + MPS (on Apple Silicon) | 2x faster | Medium | None |
+
+**Metrics**:
+- CTranslate2: 50-100+ tokens/sec
+- Transformers: 10-30 tokens/sec
+- Apple Silicon with MPS: Up to 2x faster than CTranslate2

+# Translation: Supported Languages 
+
+WLK supports translation into **201 languages** from the FLORES-200 dataset through the [NLLW](https://github.com/QuentinFuxa/NoLanguageLeftWaiting) translation system. 
+
+## How to Specify Languages
+
+You can specify languages in **three different ways**:
+
+1. **Language Name** (case-insensitive): `"English"`, `"French"`, `"Spanish"`
+2. **ISO Language Code**: `"en"`, `"fr"`, `"es"`
+3. **NLLB Code** (FLORES-200): `"eng_Latn"`, `"fra_Latn"`, `"spa_Latn"`
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Command Line
+```bash
+# Using language name
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language "French"
+
+# Using ISO code
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language fr
+
+# Using NLLB code
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language fra_Latn
+```
+
+### Python API
+```python
+from nllw.translation import get_language_info
+
+# Get language information by name
+lang_info = get_language_info("French")
+print(lang_info)
+# {'name': 'French', 'nllb': 'fra_Latn', 'language_code': 'fr'}
+
+# Get language information by ISO code
+lang_info = get_language_info("fr")
+
+# Get language information by NLLB code
+lang_info = get_language_info("fra_Latn")
+
+# All three return the same result
+```
+

+# Technical Integration Guide
+
+This document introduce how to reuse the core components when you do **not** want to ship the bundled frontend, FastAPI server, or even the provided CLI.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Runtime Components
+
+| Layer | File(s) | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| Transport | `whisperlivekit/basic_server.py`, any ASGI/WebSocket server | Accepts audio over WebSocket (MediaRecorder WebM or raw PCM chunks) and streams JSON updates back |
+| Audio processing | `whisperlivekit/audio_processor.py` | Buffers audio, orchestrates transcription, diarization, translation, handles FFmpeg/PCM input |
+| Engines | `whisperlivekit/core.py`, `whisperlivekit/simul_whisper/*`, `whisperlivekit/local_agreement/*` | Load models once (SimulStreaming or LocalAgreement), expose `TranscriptionEngine` and helpers |
+| Frontends | `whisperlivekit/web/*`, `chrome-extension/*` | Optional UI layers feeding the WebSocket endpoint |
+
+**Key idea:** The server boundary is just `AudioProcessor.process_audio()` for incoming bytes and the async generator returned by `AudioProcessor.create_tasks()` for outgoing updates (`FrontData`). Everything else is optional.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Running Without the Bundled Frontend
+
+1. Start the server/engine however you like:
+   ```bash
+   wlk --model small --language en --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000
+   # or launch your own app that instantiates TranscriptionEngine(...)
+   ```
+2. Build your own client (browser, mobile, desktop) that:
+   - Opens `ws(s)://<host>:<port>/asr`
+   - Sends either MediaRecorder/Opus WebM blobs **or** raw PCM (`--pcm-input` on the server tells the client to use the AudioWorklet).
+   - Consumes the JSON payload defined in `docs/API.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Running Without FastAPI
+
+`whisperlivekit/basic_server.py` is just an example. Any async framework works, as long as you:
+
+1. Create a global `TranscriptionEngine` (expensive to initialize; reuse it).
+2. Instantiate `AudioProcessor(transcription_engine=engine)` for each connection.
+3. Call `create_tasks()` to get the async generator, `process_audio()` with incoming bytes, and ensure `cleanup()` runs when the client disconnects.
+
+
+If you prefer to send compressed audio, instantiate `AudioProcessor(pcm_input=False)` and pipe encoded chunks through `FFmpegManager` transparently. Just ensure `ffmpeg` is available.

+# Troubleshooting
+
+
+## GPU drivers & cuDNN visibility
+
+### Linux error: `Unable to load libcudnn_ops.so* / cudnnCreateTensorDescriptor`
+> Reported in issue #271 (Arch/CachyOS)
+
+`faster-whisper` (used for the SimulStreaming encoder) dynamically loads cuDNN.  
+If the runtime cannot find `libcudnn_*`, verify that CUDA and cuDNN match the PyTorch build you installed:
+
+1. **Install CUDA + cuDNN** (Arch/CachyOS example):
+   ```bash
+   sudo pacman -S cuda cudnn
+   sudo ldconfig
+   ```
+2. **Make sure the shared objects are visible**:
+   ```bash
+   ls /usr/lib/libcudnn*
+   ```
+3. **Check what CUDA version PyTorch expects** and match that with the driver you installed:
+   ```bash
+   python - <<'EOF'
+   import torch
+   print(torch.version.cuda)
+   EOF
+   nvcc --version
+   ```
+4. If you installed CUDA in a non-default location, export `CUDA_HOME` and add `$CUDA_HOME/lib64` to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
+
+Once the CUDA/cuDNN versions match, `whisperlivekit-server` starts normally.
+
+### Windows error: `Could not locate cudnn_ops64_9.dll`
+> Reported in issue #286 (Conda on Windows)
+
+PyTorch bundles cuDNN DLLs inside your environment (`<env>\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib`).  
+When `ctranslate2` or `faster-whisper` cannot find `cudnn_ops64_9.dll`:
+
+1. Locate the DLL shipped with PyTorch, e.g.
+   ```
+   E:\conda\envs\WhisperLiveKit\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib\cudnn_ops64_9.dll
+   ```
+2. Add that directory to your `PATH` **or** copy the `cudnn_*64_9.dll` files into a directory that is already on `PATH` (such as the environment's `Scripts/` folder).
+3. Restart the shell before launching `wlk`.
+
+Installing NVIDIA's standalone cuDNN 9.x and pointing `PATH`/`CUDNN_PATH` to it works as well, but is usually not required.
+
+---
+
+## PyTorch / CTranslate2 GPU builds
+
+### `Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled`
+> Reported in issue #284
+
+If `torch.zeros(1).cuda()` raises that assertion it means you installed a CPU-only wheel.  
+Install the GPU-enabled wheels that match your CUDA toolkit:
+
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu130
+```
+
+Replace `cu130` with the CUDA version supported by your driver (see [PyTorch install selector](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)).  
+Validate with:
+
+```python
+import torch
+print(torch.cuda.is_available(), torch.cuda.get_device_name())
+```
+
+### `CTranslate2 device count: 0` or `Could not infer dtype of ctranslate2._ext.StorageView`
+> Follow-up in issue #284
+
+`ctranslate2` publishes separate CPU and CUDA wheels. The default `pip install ctranslate2` brings the CPU build, which makes WhisperLiveKit fall back to CPU tensors and leads to the dtype error above.
+
+1. Uninstall the CPU build: `pip uninstall -y ctranslate2`.
+2. Install the CUDA wheel that matches your toolkit (example for CUDA 13.0):
+   ```bash
+   pip install ctranslate2==4.5.0 -f https://opennmt.net/ctranslate2/whl/cu130
+   ```
+   (See the [CTranslate2 installation table](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/installation.html) for other CUDA versions.)
+3. Verify:
+   ```python
+   import ctranslate2
+   print("CUDA devices:", ctranslate2.get_cuda_device_count())
+   print("CUDA compute types:", ctranslate2.get_supported_compute_types("cuda", 0))
+   ```
+
+**Note for aarch64 systems (e.g., NVIDIA DGX Spark):** Pre-built CUDA wheels may not be available for all CUDA versions on ARM architectures. If the wheel installation fails, you may need to compile CTranslate2 from source with CUDA support enabled.
+
+If you intentionally want CPU inference, run `wlk --backend whisper` to avoid mixing CPU-only CTranslate2 with a GPU Torch build.
+
+---
+
+## Hopper / Blackwell (`sm_121a`) systems
+> Reported in issues #276 and #284 (NVIDIA DGX Spark)
+
+CUDA 12.1a GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA GB10 on DGX Spark) ship before some toolchains know about the architecture ID, so Triton/PTXAS need manual configuration.
+
+### Error: `ptxas fatal : Value 'sm_121a' is not defined for option 'gpu-name'`
+
+If you encounter this error after compiling CTranslate2 from source on aarch64 systems, Triton's bundled `ptxas` may not support the `sm_121a` architecture. The solution is to replace Triton's `ptxas` with the system's CUDA `ptxas`:
+
+```bash
+# Find your Python environment's Triton directory
+python -c "import triton; import os; print(os.path.dirname(triton.__file__))"
+
+# Copy the system ptxas to Triton's backend directory
+# Replace <triton_path> with the output above
+cp /usr/local/cuda/bin/ptxas <triton_path>/backends/nvidia/bin/ptxas
+```
+
+For example, in a virtual environment:
+```bash
+cp /usr/local/cuda/bin/ptxas ~/wlk/lib/python3.12/site-packages/triton/backends/nvidia/bin/ptxas
+```
+
+**Note:** On DGX Spark systems, CUDA is typically already in `PATH` (`/usr/local/cuda/bin`), so explicit `CUDA_HOME` and `PATH` exports may not be necessary. Verify with `which ptxas` before copying.
+
+### Alternative: Environment variable approach
+
+If the above doesn't work, you can try setting environment variables (though this may not resolve the `sm_121a` issue on all systems):
+
+```bash
+export CUDA_HOME="/usr/local/cuda-13.0"
+export PATH="$CUDA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$CUDA_HOME/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
