Live-Path Minimalism

GPT-Live's serving principle — "the voice must flow": the realtime media loop is the only thing on the live path; delegation, context compaction, persistence, and instance management all run asynchronously off it. Stateful-instance handoff (warm a replacement, prefill, run both in parallel, cut over) turns compaction and rebalancing into zero-interruption transitions; delegation is a budgeted loop over a pre-warmed prefilled frontier-model session; WARP + Instant Connect collapse WebRTC startup from six round trips to a single UDP packet; capacity is concurrent sessions keeping every frame on schedule, not GPU throughput
