Official 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.
