Published modality-specific token rate. Hourly equivalents on the pricing page are illustrative, not separate flat charges. Text context and translated output contribute to usage. Regional enterprise agreements may differ; these are public list rates. No generic text-question estimate.
Provider states submitted content is not used to train or improve models. Real-time audio/transcript content is not retained; async files and transcripts are stored, deletable by the customer and automatically removed after 30 days. Operational usage metadata is retained. Regional residency excludes account, billing and other system data.

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
The provider identifies its hosted models as Soniox intellectual property, grants limited service access and prohibits extraction/reverse engineering. Native release documentation and historical reports establish these model identities; no public weight license is inferred from SDK availability.
