Rime / Arcana

Arcana v1

Original expressive speech generation release. Its original cloud weights are no longer selected by the Arcana alias, which later advanced and now routes to Coda.

Architecture
Pre-trained LLM backbone with additional text/audio pretraining; autoregressively decodes flattened codec representations from coarsest to finestSource for Architecture (opens in a new tab)

Use of an open-source backbone does not make the resulting proprietary speech checkpoint open-weight.

This is not a current Coda or other host guarantee; native Arcana selectors now reroute.

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
arcana
Access
Native cloud retirement on August 15, 2026. This selector now serves Coda; it does not select the original Arcana weights.
Regions
US West (us-west-2) and US East (us-east-1) native regions. These routing details are not a blanket contractual residency guarantee.

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

Data & enterprise terms

Rime documents character-count-only collection by default and no customer-content model training without opt-in. Optional request retention is disabled by default and can be enabled for support/quality investigation; enabling it does not authorize training. Voice-clone recordings have separate customer-specific training permission. MSA/BAA terms may vary.

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.

Not verified

No model-specific prompt-cache contract or discounted cached-character rate established. TensorRT engine caches, persistent sockets and speaker profiles are not prompt caching.

How it works
Not collected

No model-specific prompt-cache contract or discounted cached-character rate established. TensorRT engine caches, persistent sockets and speaker profiles are not prompt caching.

Minimum reusable input
Not collected

No model-specific prompt-cache contract or discounted cached-character rate established. TensorRT engine caches, persistent sockets and speaker profiles are not prompt caching.

No verified cache rate for this endpoint. An empty rate is not a zero charge.

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

Rime reserves ownership of its AI voice models and grants a limited service license. Current Coda/Mist deployments explicitly use private, closed-source licensed engine images; Together describes Arcana as proprietary. The separately released Rimecaster speaker-embedding model is CC-BY-4.0 and is excluded.
