Can AI voice agent infrastructure bring-your-own STT/LLM/TTS models?

Layercode and other voice-agent platforms generally let you bring your own models — especially LLMs. LLM: Layercode lets you plug in a backend agent and swap LLM providers (even mid-project). Voquill explicitly supports running fine‑tuned local LLMs via Ollama. STT: Bring‑your‑own ASR is often possible but usually requires a standard integration/interface (Voquill notes transcription needs a standard connector). TTS: Platforms like SigmaMind AI already offer multiple TTS providers/models and can accept alternative voices. If you need integration details, contact the vendor (Voquill suggested Discord) to confirm interfaces and deployment options.

What latency should I expect from real-time voice agent infrastructure?

SigmaMind AI reports sub‑800 ms end‑to‑end latency by running ASR, LLM, and TTS in parallel and streaming results as they arrive. In practice you’ll see a range depending on hardware and topology: Optimized cloud/GPUs or platforms like SigmaMind: ~<800 ms, even with function calls. Local CPU on a laptop (example: M4 MacBook Pro with Voquill): a couple seconds for a normal transcript. Edge/near‑user deploys (Layercode approach) can cut round‑trip time by moving processing closer to callers. Plan for 0.8s–2s depending on deployment and whether you use GPU/cloud or local CPU.

Top reviewed

Across the most-reviewed options, the market splits between realtime communications backbones, speech intelligence APIs, and full voice-agent orchestration. LiveKit stands out for low-latency, developer-controlled voice/video systems, while AssemblyAI is strongest for transcription-heavy workflows like analytics, notes, and compliance. Vapi emphasizes telephony-ready agents, model flexibility, testing, and production integrations."
