LITE Mode was formerly called “Custom Mode.” All functionality remains the same.
In LITE Mode, LiveAvatar focuses exclusively on real-time video generation driven by your audio input. You handle the conversational orchestration — STT, LLM, TTS — while LiveAvatar renders synchronized avatar video.

​
When to use LITE Mode

  • Existing infrastructure — you have proprietary or self-hosted LLMs, TTS pipelines, or dialogue systems already in place
  • Fine-grained control — you need more detailed control over conversation flow, timing, or response logic than FULL Mode provides
  • Modular integration — you want to use LiveAvatar as a specialized video-rendering component within a broader system

​
Credits
