Data & enterprise terms

API jobs and associated files are retained for at most 30 days, with account/job deletion controls and manual deletion. An accounting record remains. Rev terms permit continuous training of its own ASR/AI models on speech-service content, while excluding generative-AI training. The security page’s external-LLM exclusion is not a universal no-training promise.

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

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

Rev reserves its proprietary services and model technology and prohibits copying or reverse engineering. This record covers legacy proprietary ASR or an explicitly labeled managed API family/option whose internal checkpoint is not published. The separately downloadable English Reverb ASR and diarization releases are excluded; API billing alone is not proof of closed weights.
