Latency definitions
Flash measurements cannot be paired with Starter pricing as a single tested configuration. Simli's model-unspecified latency also cannot establish a model-specific price-speed result.
Measure the same event at both providers before selecting a fastest option. Include network and speech-stack behavior in complete conversation tests.
