Provider Notes

inworld/realtime is AudioLab's provider-managed Inworld STT-1 + GPT-4o + Inworld TTS-2 speech-to-speech stack, with Ashley as the auto voice. All three TTS models support buffered and streaming HTTP audio, native JSON/NDJSON timestamp responses, and a multiplexed speech WebSocket with up to five contexts. TTS-2 is an exact-only preview with bracketed steering, deliveryMode, and 100+ languages; it ignores temperature, so AudioLab rejects that field. Stable TTS 1.5 Max and Mini support temperature and 15 languages but not steering or deliveryMode. AudioLab preserves native alignment, phoneme, viseme, usage, status, and context events.
