Where the Latency Actually Goes: Deterministic State Machines, Barge-In, and Cancellation in Full-Duplex Voice Agents.

In voice agents, we typically see latency as a model performance issue. We measure three metrics independently to show how responsive the system is: time to first token, speech recognition speed, and time to first synthesized audio. Now something else happens to the caller. The r...
