Could you build this?

No Building streaming speech language model plumbing involving low-level audio frames, custom conversation schemas, and multi-stream batching requires specialized audio ML/systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The system requires an asynchronous audio I/O pipeline (WebSockets, WebRTC, PyTorch C++ extensions) tightly coupled to streaming neural audio codecs (like EnCodec or Mimi) and causal LLM inference engines with KV-cache management for continuous audio streams. The primary bottlenecks are sub-200ms latency orchestration, multi-client real-time token batching, and custom token-interleaving schemas, demanding advanced audio DSP and systems-level ML infrastructure expertise.
