Endpoint availability
New business customers cannot purchase API packages or start pay-as-you-go from 15 July 2026. Existing eligible business customers retain documented tariffs. Personal package sales and Freemium renewals also stopped on that date; remaining packages expire normally.Source for Endpoint availability (opens in a new tab)
Audio sample rates
8 kHz telephony audio.Source for Audio sample rates (opens in a new tab)
Audio input limits
HTTP synchronous: 2 MB and 1 minute, first channel only. Asynchronous: 1 GB, codec-dependent multichannel. Streaming gRPC v2: 1 GB, at most two channels.Source for Audio input limits (opens in a new tab)

The one-minute synchronous ceiling is specified in the REST recognition reference.

Input file formats
PCM S16LE / WAV, Ogg Opus, MP3, FLAC, G.711 A-law, G.711 mu-law, G.729Source for Input file formats (opens in a new tab)

Codec inventory across ASR modes. G.711 and G.729 are 8 kHz; do not use these as evidence for general above 8 kHz.

Audio channels
Async: PCM/FLAC up to 8, MP3 up to 2; Opus and telephone codecs mono. Streaming: up to 2 regardless of a codec having a higher file limit.Source for Audio channels (opens in a new tab)
Speaker diarization
Not supportedSource for Speaker diarization (opens in a new tab)

The improvement guide limits speaker separation to general.

Custom vocabulary
One-utterance hints for streaming and asynchronous recognition; hints do not train a new model.Source for Custom vocabulary (opens in a new tab)
Streaming audio chunks
gRPC: messages at most 4 MB, audio chunks at most 2 seconds, pauses between messages at most 5 seconds.Source for Streaming audio chunks (opens in a new tab)
Concurrent requests
Default service limit: 10 parallel streams for businesses, 5 for individuals.Source for Concurrent requests (opens in a new tab)
Billing basis
Existing eligible business customers only; new purchases closed 15 July 2026. RUB including VAT. Pay-as-you-go has a RUB 15,000 monthly minimum when usage is nonzero; no charge for an unused month. Usage amounts below are proportional charges before the monthly minimum, not a standalone subscription quote. Synchronous and streaming seconds are combined and rounded to the nearest whole second for the month. Asynchronous duration is charged per channel.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)

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

Provider-documented hosted speech component. Public API schemas do not publish the served weights. The exact underlying checkpoint and its relationship to public GigaAM releases are not established, so this record does not assert a separate proprietary foundation model.
