Session Description

Break down a real AI voice call path step by step. Show where time actually goes: network hops between providers, handoff latency, buffering, connection overhead. The model is rarely the bottleneck. The gaps between vendors are. What changes when inference, STT, TTS, and telephony run on co-located infrastructure. One network, zero inter-provider hops. Show the before/after latency breakdown. Zoom out to the inference economics. Owned GPUs, not rented. FP8 throughput on FOSS models. Pricing that follows the cost of compute, not cloud provider markup. The voice use case is the proof. The infrastructure story is the point.

Media Evidence

Evidence Graph

This evidence graph is generated from currently linked source material: official schedule text, related video pages, cached transcripts, visible slide text, dense/reconstructed slide pages, and AI slide-classification audits.

Media Signals

No linked video, transcript, or slide source has been attached yet.

Agent Reading Notes

Use these signals to refine the synopsis, topic links, people/company context, and method notes. If a source is a related external video rather than an exact official recording, keep it framed as supporting evidence.

Transcript Status

No official session recording transcript was found by exact title match on the AI Engineer YouTube channel during this run.

Notes

• Pending transcript synthesis when an official recording or confirmed matching video is available.
