Summary

The author of the post discusses how to enhance a Twilio Voice application built with Anthropic's Claude models by adding token streaming and interruption handling. The original setup had latency issues, particularly when dealing with long responses. Token streaming allows for real-time response delivery, reducing latency. To implement this, the `aiResponseStream` function is modified to handle streamed tokens and forward them to ConversationRelay. Additionally, conversation tracking and interruption handling are added by modifying the `handleInterrupt` function to replace interrupted parts of the AI's turn with what was heard. The updated application allows for improved responsiveness and better handling of interruptions during conversations.
