Question about the numpy downgrade

[tropxy]

Hi,

I see that you have downgraded the version of numpy, which actually benefits me as I was having incompatibility versions between pipecat and langchain.

However, I wonder if there was any compromise in performance by doing that...
Also, as I have noted here in langchain: langchain-ai/langchain#29319

They have included in their imports by some reason two constraints to numpy, where one of them restricts the lib to be under version 2 and the other allows it. This was what was causing my issue.

Not sure why was the reason for the downgrade of the numpy, but thought it would be good to share this piece with you.
Thanks!

I was having incompatibility versions between pipecat and langchain.

Many people were having issues like this, with langchain and other services. It seems that support for numpy >2 is not broad enough to warrant an upgrade. That's the reason.

You can see some discussion in these issues: #913, #914. There was more discussion about this in Discord.
