The 800ms Barrier: Architecting Interruptible Voice Agents (Lessons from Sarvam AI x Swiggy)

The 800ms Barrier: Architecting Interruptible Voice Agents (Lessons from Sarvam AI x Swiggy) The Signal: The 800ms Latency Barrier In a research lab, a 3-second delay is an "optimization ticket." In a live call with a hungry customer on the Swiggy app, 3 seconds is a churn event. The partnership between Sarvam AI and Swiggy represents a shift in the "Boss Level" of agentic AI. Most developers build voice agents using a Cascaded Pipeline: STT -> LLM -> TTS. The result? A cumulative lag that makes
