What’s your current / best AI voice agents stack in 2026?

I’m curious what people are actually using right now for AI voice agents in production. Not just “best in demos” — but the stack that works well for real calls, real latency, interruptions, handoffs, CRM sync, and overall reliability. I checked LuMay Voice Agent and got <500ms latency, which felt pretty solid in testing. For me, the biggest factors are: latency interruption handling call quality workflow automation CRM integration fallback/recovery when the agent gets stuck I’ve seen different setups around Vapi, Retell, Twilio, and custom stacks, but I’d love to hear what’s working best for you right now. What’s your current stack, and what’s the one thing it does better than the others? submitted by /u/Legitimate_Sell6215 [link] [comments]

Probabilities are not the right concept

Probabilities are not the right concept

Introduction This sequence is an attempt to sketch a unified framework for several interconnected questions: Where do Bayesian priors come from? What even are probabilities? How should we deal with infinite ethics? What's going on with anthropics? I hope to lay out both some of the existing answers and my own preferred synthesis.[1] I understand that many people have already thought about these questions, and I have only read portions of the existing literature. I think most of what I will write here, even in the section about my preferred synthesis, is not novel. People whose writing I'm building on include Wei Dai, Paul Christiano, Joe Carlsmith, Scott Garrabrant and Richard Ngo. I've also listened to some people like Lukas Finnveden, Vivek Hebbar and Ryan Greenblatt talk about related topics, which was also influential on me.[2] However, most of the prior work is scattered across many, often very confusingly written blog posts, and I can't easily tell where I first came across vario

Google’s new anything-to-anything AI model is wild

Just a stuffed deer having the time of his life. | Image: Gemini / The Verge Last year I deepfaked my kid's stuffed animal to make it look like his plush deer was on vacation. It was an experiment to see if I could re-create the events depicted in a Gemini ad Google was running, and I never showed the videos of Buddy the deer on his adventures to my four-year-old. But it was a revealing exercise that made me think a lot about the difference between some harmless fun with generative AI and full-on slop. Maybe that Venn diagram is a perfect circle! Maybe not. But what I know for sure is that the tools to make realistic videos are surprisingly good, requiring surprisingly little effort and know-how. And that trend is c … Read the full story at The Verge.

Vision-capable LLMs vs. OCR for long-document (including charts, images, tables, etc.) QA

I benchmarked vision-capable LLMs (the "just attach the PDF and let the model read it" pattern) against OCR-based pipelines on 30 long, image-heavy PDFs from MMLongBench-Doc (https://github.com/mayubo2333/MMLongBench-Doc). There were 171 questions in total, using Claude Sonnet 4.5 as the LLM.

Your AI agents need a terminal, not just a vector database

Your AI agents need a terminal, not just a vector database

When agentic workflows fail, developers often assume the problem lies in the underlying model’s reasoning abilities. In reality, the limited information provided by the retrieval interface is often the primary limiting factor. Researchers at multiple universities propose a technique called direct corpus interaction (DCI) that lets agents bypass embedding models entirely, searching raw corpora directly using standard command-line tools. The limits of classic retrieval In classic retrieval systems such as RAG, documents are chunked, converted into vector representations (or embeddings), and indexed offline in a vector database. When an AI system processes a query, a retriever filters the entire database to return a ranked "top-k" list of document snippets that match the query. All evidence must pass through this scoring mechanism before any downstream reasoning occurs. But modern agentic applications demand much more. "Dense retrieval is very useful for broad semantic recall, but when an
