Summary

  • Switch Azure Realtime Fast to managed native speech-to-speech billing, retaining its explicitly labeled user-specified Voice Live Lite pricing reference.
  • Use Lite native audio input, cached audio history, native audio output, and applicable text meters. Remove the separate Azure HD output charge.
  • Update model selection, comparison/CSV pipeline classification, pricing notes, and documentation. Azure Realtime Pro and other models remain unchanged; Azure models remain unavailable in BYOM scenarios.

This supersedes the Fast hybrid billing configuration from #81 at the user's request. The diff is limited to four cost-calculator files.

Validation

  • All 26 calculator tests pass after integrating latest main, including exact native pricing, cache history, silence handling, pipeline eligibility, and existing-model regressions.
  • node --check tools\cost_calculator\app.mjs
  • git diff --check
  • Browser checks confirmed native model selection and comparison, Lite audio output at $12/1M tokens, no separate HD output charge/editor, five native prompt scenarios in CSV, retained Lite-reference labeling, and unchanged Azure Realtime Pro totals.

With default assumptions, Fast costs $0.011295 per 90-second call, or $0.007530 per call-minute. No price-snapshot changes are included.

Add managed native-audio estimates for Azure Realtime using Pro meters and Azure Realtime Fast using an explicit Lite-tier assumption. Include comparison and CSV pricing provenance, prevent unverified BYOM substitutions, and cover pricing and scenario selection.

Move Azure Realtime Fast from native speech-to-speech to the managed realtime text response plus Azure HD pipeline. Retain the Lite-tier reference, update pricing notes and scenario guards, and cover hybrid costs and pipeline eligibility.

Preserve the Fast hybrid-pipeline correction over the identical original calculator changes already merged into main.

Switch Fast to the managed native speech-to-speech pipeline with Lite-tier audio input/output meters and no separate Azure HD output charge. Update selection, pricing notes, documentation, and regression coverage.

Preserve the native billing update over the previously merged hybrid baseline; calculator files on main match the pre-update HEAD.
