Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in AI Dev Gallery Dev through the Phi Silica Generate Text flow with the Chinese inputs "你是谁" and "如何制作一份煎牛排". Compare the output with the behavior before April 25, 2025 and investigate the Phi Silica integration used by that entry point. Done means double-byte input produces readable inference output rather than garbled characters.
