Provider Notes

xAI's /v1/stt service exposes one logical model and does not accept an upstream model identifier. The same AudioLab slug supports uploaded audio and live WebSocket transcription. Text formatting requires an explicit language; multichannel channel counts require multichannel=true; both paths accept up to 100 keyterms of at most 50 characters each.
