LiveKit inference for gemini 3.1 flash lite when?

Getting Started

Gemini 3.1 flash lite is 2.5x faster than gemini 2.5 flash and it is also has better intelligence scores than gemini 2.5 flash. I think this would be nice to have 3.1 flash lite available for its time to first answer token response time and it’s overall speed. Having colocation with the voice agent would make STT → LLM → TTS → telephony pipeline even lower latency.
