This turns the Gateway’s audio offering into a clearer output-side choice: Flash-Lite targets controlled volume production, while Flash targets prompt-shaped performance and character work. It complements existing transcription routes and overlaps Fish Audio’s speech generation, but the supplied record still supports only integration-level evaluation—not a quality, latency, or cost preference.
