- OpenAI should not use WebRTC for voice AI; it's a poor fit due to aggressive packet dropping and lack of buffering.
- WebRTC introduces complex issues with ports, load balancing, and connection setup, requiring hacks to scale.
- WebRTC's design for conferencing doesn't align with voice AI needs, where accuracy and reliability are more important than low latency.
- Alternatives like streaming audio over WebSockets are simpler and more scalable for current voice AI applications.
- QUIC is recommended over WebRTC for future voice AI needs, offering better load balancing, connection resilience, and fewer round trips.
