Input modalities
Image, AudioSource for Input modalities (opens in a new tab)

Reference identity and supplied speech drive the visual layer. Cara 4 text controls direct performance; the surrounding LLM and TTS are separate.

Output modalities
VideoSource for Output modalities (opens in a new tab)

Synchronized supplied audio is not proof of native speech generation.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
cara-2

Still present in the legacy meeting configuration enum; the current session-token model enum no longer lists Cara 2.

Access
Legacy existing avatars and meeting configuration references. New Cara 2 avatar creation is unsupported, and the current ephemeral session-token enum omits cara-2. Confirm legacy serving with Anam.
Regions
Production inference/media on CoreWeave in Spain/EU and US East. Enterprise can select eu/us engine regions with strict or preferred routing. External providers and stored assets are separate.

Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

Data & enterprise terms

Default recordings retained up to 30 days; reports/transcripts/analytics remain until deleted. Enterprise ZDR keeps session content in volatile memory but excludes source avatar images, knowledge files and operational/account metadata. Applicable terms prohibit customer-content training, subject to any separate written agreement described in governance.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

Lip-sync rating

Anam · provider-reported
6.6provider-reported rating

Values in the Cara 3 provider article. Linked Mabyduck methodology describes an Anam-commissioned October 2025 study, 178 participants and a 5-point Likert scale, not an exact checkpoint-specific validation of these displayed scores. Scale conversion and later study details remain unresolved.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Anam’s governance page explicitly identifies CARA as proprietary avatar models it develops and owns. Hosted access and open SDKs do not grant access to those model weights.
