Voice Pipeline

Voice AI that feels
instantaneous.

Sub-300ms time to first audio. STT → LLM → TTS running co-located on a single edge node. No cloud round trips. No dead air. The fastest voice AI infrastructure available.

Why TTFA matters

Your users don't experience tokens per second.

They experience the wait. The pause before the voice agent speaks. The gap that tells them they're talking to a machine.

Sub-300ms TTFA is the threshold where AI voice feels real. PolarGrid achieves it by running the entire pipeline — STT, LLM, and TTS — co-located on a single edge GPU node, eliminating every cross-datacenter hop.

Who uses it

Built for real-time AI products.

Voice Agents

The pause kills the conversation.

Sub-300ms TTFA is the threshold where AI voice feels real. PolarGrid is the only infrastructure built for that bar.

Interview Copilots

Real-time transcription. Instant response.

Final Round AI runs their interview copilot on PolarGrid. Latency-sensitive, high-volume, real-time. Exactly what we're built for.

Customer Service AI

Scale without the lag tax.

High-volume voice pipelines degrade at scale. PolarGrid's edge routing keeps latency low — consumption pricing, no minimums.
