Provider Notes
deepgram/realtime is AudioLab's provider-managed Nova-3 + GPT-4o Mini + Aura-2 Thalia speech-to-speech stack. Aura-2 supports every current REST media combination, streaming HTTP audio, asynchronous callbacks, request tags, MIP opt-out, speed and inline IPA controls, and AudioLab's realtime speech WebSocket. It has 91 current voice/model IDs across seven languages. Aura-1 remains an officially listed, separately priced English model family with 12 voice/model IDs and the same REST/WebSocket transports, but without Aura-2's speed or inline IPA controls. Pass the provider's full concrete voice/model ID, such as aura-2-thalia-en, through the common voice field. MP3, Opus, and AAC use Deepgram's fixed sample rates, so AudioLab omits sample_rate for those encodings; configurable sample rates remain available for linear16, mu-law, A-law, and FLAC. Deepgram's live WebSocket accepts only pcm, ulaw, or alaw.
