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 PlayDialog-turbo
Access Historical documented access path. Native service availability has not been verified; surviving documentation is not proof that the route still accepts requests.
Regions Not established for this historical access path. Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.
Data & enterprise terms Current retention, training-use and data-residency terms were not verified. Do not infer guarantees from historical API examples.
API model ID playai-tts
Access Retired on December 31, 2025. Requests to this model ID no longer work; Groq recommends Canopy Labs Orpheus replacements.
Regions Not established for this historical access path. Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

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 INPUT Process & retain The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUEST Check available state Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HIT Reuse & generate Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
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 Named provider-operated speech engine with no public weight distribution identified in the reviewed official inventory. PlayAI-Groq documents a commercial model license for Dialog. Classification of legacy engines is based on provider-controlled access, not a claim that all PlayAI work is closed; public PlayDiffusion checkpoints are explicitly excluded.
Classification evidence (opens in a new tab) Lifecycle dates Sources reviewed Model notes Six documented speech engines, native HTTP/WebSocket/batch transports, stock voices and retired Groq deployments reviewed. Native service availability and prices remain unverified; PlayDiffusion has public weights and is excluded.
Groq lists Dialog v1.0, while PlayHT calls its Groq-optimized deployment PlayDialog-turbo. Related hosted access is grouped here; identical underlying checkpoint bytes are not established.
The Groq model page recommends keeping input below 10K characters. That recommendation is not an enforced maximum and does not override the separate native HTTP limit.
Historical record: native access and current pricing remain unverified. Groq-specific retirement does not establish the retirement date of every native engine.
Text limits use characters, not tokens. Voice cloning and conditioning are not automatically classified as fine-tuning. Unknown caching and LLM capabilities remain unknown.
Check against your workload Try representative inputs, measure task success and total cost, then check the exact endpoint’s data policy.
