## Voice principles
* **Technical:** Uses precise engineering terminology without over-explaining (e.g., token dense compression, structured output, provenance).
* **Authoritative:** Makes bold, definitive claims backed by data and benchmarks (e.g., Highest accuracy, State of the art).
* **Developer-centric:** Speaks directly in the language of code and APIs (e.g., Use curl to read, Pay as you go).
* **Concise:** Uses short, impactful statements devoid of marketing fluff.
