Voice Agents in 2026 — STT, LLM, TTS, and Latency That Doesn't Hurt
Practical voice agent architecture: streaming Deepgram/AssemblyAI → LLM → ElevenLabs/OpenAI TTS, latency budgeting, barge-in, and patterns from production calls.

End-to-end design for voice chat: WebRTC, SFU vs MCU, signaling, presence, room state, and the operational realities of running voice at scale.
A practical look at building voice agents in 2026. Realtime LLM APIs (OpenAI Realtime, Anthropic, Gemini Live), end-to-end latency, ASR and TTS, interruption handling, and the production patterns from real deployments.
