The harness vs. native architecture comparison is a useful framing. The five-component pipeline (VAD, STT, LLM, TTS, Dialog Manager) is pragmatic and composable but introduces latency at every seam. The native interaction model trades that flexibility for end-to-end audio-native reasoning, which matters a lot for real-time use cases like customer support or voice navigation. The open question is how governance and auditability evolve when the modality boundaries dissolve.
The "harness has a ceiling" framing is the sharpest part of this. It's the same pattern in agent frameworks today: turn-based models wrapped in tool-parsing and orchestration heuristics that will eventually become the bottleneck, the same way VAD and dialog managers did here.
I sense your spontaneous-oral-first included should at its early stage tested among polymaths and kindreds in #SpiceTradeAsia region eg enough தமிழ்நாடு ( TamilNadu), India. The mindspace where Ramanujan & Sunder Pichai hail from.
And Central/East Java/Bali.
Why? 1) We have the best track record in world-leading quantum leap instinctive inventiveness as oral societies until 1450 when our mother-tongues began to be binarised, false dichotomies and decorollaryised by (binary) Abrahamic languages. principally English.
See 20 min BBC video and infer the corollary to get a glimpse of what I have in mind.
3 LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity) rank me one in a million in the kind of polymathic challenges I bring to them. Don"t forget our lineage of language that is congruent with math. And our region pioneering commerce from the Straits of Malacca and more. Almost all modern empires got their startup capital from our region. Much of the instinct remains.
