About this voice
A report voice and a seat in a Mandarin recipe
A summary is dense: figures, dates and names, one point in each sentence. Give each point its own line, and word-level captions put each figure on screen the moment he says it.
Our note keeps him on summaries, factual prose read plainly. We also kept him under a Mandarin primary, which shows that his timbre transfers across languages while Zhiyuan keeps every syllable.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.
