Latency from public benchmarks
Time to first audio, in milliseconds, as each benchmark publishes it. We don't measure latency ourselves, and the sources measure differently (harness, region, sample size), so each figure stays under its own source. Not part of the composite score.
None of the latency benchmarks we read lists a Microsoft model yet.
