[[claim-telnyx-colocates-gpus-at-telephony-pops-for-voice-latency]] rests entirely on a Telnyx marketing page (Tier 3) describing Telnyx's own architecture: GPU clusters colocated inside telephony points of presence, a full transcription→LLM→text-to-speech pipeline running on-net, and "a private MPLS fiber backbone connecting 17 global points of presence." This is a technical-mechanism claim, which per `00-meta/sources.md` requires a Tier 1–2 source. The `[unverified-mechanism]` flag blocks the note from advancing past seedling.

## Why it matters
The colocation-of-inference-with-telephony story is the hop-worthy core of the capture — a company betting infrastructure geography on inference latency. If independently confirmed, it is a clean concrete instance of edge-inference logic in production. If it is only marketing framing, the note should stay caveated and not carry weight.

## What would answer it
- Telnyx engineering documentation, architecture blog posts, or conference talks (as opposed to resource/marketing pages) describing the same pipeline.
- Independent reporting or third-party technical analysis of Telnyx's network (the "17 PoPs" and MPLS backbone claims are the kind of thing network-industry sources or peering databases can corroborate).
- Any customer/independent benchmark of the colocated pipeline's real behavior.

## Candidate next moves
- Read Telnyx's "Edge Inference Explained" and "Inference as a Service" pages (noted as unread leads in the capture) — but treat as same-vendor corroboration only.
- Search for non-vendor coverage of Telnyx's AI-infrastructure buildout.
