"this is actually a very interesting problem to solve: you have a socket open with Twilio which lets you send and receive voice frames every couple of ms. then you have to decide whether the user is speaking or not you do this by piping the audio frames to a transcription service and also a statistical model that measures the instantaneous volume of the audio signal. this catches the exact point the user starts and stops speaking. very important when the user stops speaking we feed the transcript to an LLM and start streaming it's output to a TTS service (like 11labs). we get back audio frames"

"this is actually a very interesting problem to solve: you have a socket open with Twilio which lets you send and receive voice frames every couple of ms. then you have to decide whether the user is speaking or not you do this by piping the audio frames to a transcription service and also a statistical model that measures the instantaneous volume of the audio signal. this catches the exact point the user starts and stops speaking. very important when the user stops speaking we feed the transcript to an LLM and start streaming it's output to a TTS service (like 11labs). we get back audio frames"

"@PandelisZ @twilio @DeepgramAI @elevenlabsio there are a lot of factors but LLM latency accounts for about half of the total. really depends what you're going to do with the model - 4o-mini is fine for this project but have found it hard to steer towards reliable performance in production"

"the trick to making voice agents fast is pipelining everything first pipeline: audio packets - speech to text - turn-taking model second: LLM - text to speech - encoding - output here's a render of my current latency. bear in mind I'm running this locally from a wooden hut in the mountains in Turkey - it should be significantly faster once I host it https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019801839240159411 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019801839240159411"
