Input modalities
Audio, VideoSource for Input modalities (opens in a new tab)

Audio drives rendering; a supplied recording establishes identity. Image-based identity creation is documented separately for Phoenix-4 and 4.5.

Output modalities
VideoSource for Output modalities (opens in a new tab)

Speech synthesis is a separate pipeline stage, not proof that Phoenix is a native TTS model.

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
Not collected

No currently selectable exact public API identifier verified.

Access
Historical model announcement. Current exact-version serving is unverified.
Regions
Privacy policy describes US processing and possible transfers to service providers in other countries. Exact model-serving location is not established.

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

Data & enterprise terms

Default privacy terms permit service improvement and AI research/training. Biometric retention is limited by the stated purpose or one year after last interaction, whichever comes first. Enterprise zero-retention arrangements are separate; no universal zero-retention promise is inferred.

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

Internal streaming state, saved faces and conversation memories do not establish billable prompt caching, cache lifetime or discounts.

How it works
Not collected

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 model developed by Tavus in its proprietary hosted/research stack. Reviewed primary documentation provides no downloadable weights for this model; service terms restrict source derivation and independent avatar use. Open SDKs and third-party models in the surrounding pipeline are separate.
