Lets the owner point transcription and summarisation at any AI: an open-standard
endpoint (OpenAI-compatible / local faster-whisper / Ollama) or a commercial API
(OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini). Config-driven, self-hostable, no lock-in.
What changed:
- server/app/providers/: provider layer.
- base.py: Transcriber/Summariser protocols + shared summary prompt + tolerant JSON
parser (uniform Summary shape across providers).
- summary.py: OpenAICompatibleSummariser (any /chat/completions - OpenAI, Groq,
OpenRouter, LocalAI, LM Studio, vLLM, Ollama /v1) and AnthropicSummariser (Claude
via the official anthropic SDK; Messages API has no OpenAI-compatible endpoint).
- transcription.py: OpenAICompatibleTranscriber (/audio/transcriptions - OpenAI,
Groq, self-hosted whisper server) and LocalWhisperTranscriber (faster-whisper,
execution wired in M5).
- factory.py: builds the configured providers with per-provider defaults
(anthropic -> claude-opus-4-8, openai_compatible -> gpt-4o-mini, ollama -> llama3.1).
- config.py + .env.example: transcription_provider / llm_provider selectors + base_url,
key, model settings; local faster-whisper and Ollama kept as the self-hosted defaults.
- main.py: /health now reports the resolved provider names (no secrets).
- requirements.txt: httpx drives all HTTP providers; anthropic + faster-whisper are
optional, only for their respective providers.
- docs/ai-providers.md: config recipes for OpenAI, Groq, Anthropic, Gemini, LocalAI,
LM Studio, Ollama, self-hosted whisper.
- state/: DECISIONS, ARCHITECTURE, TODO updated.
Why:
- The user asked to connect the device to any open standard AI or commercial one; this
is also the core differentiator vs Plaud's locked cloud.
Notes:
- Anthropic provider uses the official SDK and defaults to claude-opus-4-8 (per the
claude-api guidance). AI deps are optional per chosen provider. Modules byte-compile
cleanly; end-to-end wiring into the ingest pipeline lands with M5.
