The Engine container change previewed in the May 28, 2026 release has shipped in this release. The Engine container now requires two environment variables to access the GPU:

• NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
• NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility

If they are not set, the Engine container will fail to start after you upgrade to release-260611. Follow the step for your deployment method before pulling the release-260611 Engine image:

• Official Helm chart (deepgram-self-hosted): Upgrade to chart version 0.37.0 or later. The chart sets both variables on the Engine pod automatically whenever a GPU is requested, so no manual change is needed. If you pin an older chart version, bump it as part of adopting this release.

• Deepgram-provided Docker or Podman Compose files: Pull the latest files from deepgram/self-hosted-resources. They already set both variables on the Engine service.

• Your own deployment manifests: Add both variables to the Engine container's environment. For example, in a Docker or Podman Compose file:

  services:
    engine:
      image: quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:release-260611
      runtime: nvidia
      environment:
        NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES: "all"
        NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES: "compute,utility"

  Or, for a Kubernetes Engine container spec:

  env:
    - name: NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
      value: "all"
    - name: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES
      value: "compute,utility"

After setting the variables, upgrade your image tags to release-260611 and restart the Engine. Confirm it reaches a healthy state (for example, GET /v1/status returns 200) before routing production traffic.

• Persian Profanity Filtering — profanity_filter=true now masks recognized profanity in Persian (fa) transcripts. See Profanity Filtering for the supported language list and usage.
• English Redaction on Flux Streaming — redact now applies to English transcripts on the Flux streaming endpoint (/v2/listen).
• Streaming Diarization Model Selection — a new diarize_model parameter selects the diarization model on streaming requests; accepted values are v1 and latest, and setting it enables diarization (no separate diarize=true required). See Diarization for details.
• Number Formatting Improvements — number formatting now covers Simplified Mandarin (zh), Cantonese (zh-HK), and Bulgarian (bg). Across languages, ordinals written as numerals format more consistently, and indefinite articles ("a"/"an") format as digits in quantity contexts.
• Text-to-Speech Output Transcoding — /v1/speak now supports optional output transcoding to additional audio formats.
• Aura-2 Numeric Pronunciation Fix — corrects a pronunciation issue on all-numeric inputs.
• Voice Agent Third-Party Provider Reliability — improves reliability of ElevenLabs streaming and Cartesia cancellation handling for self-hosted Voice Agent.
• General Improvements — Keeps our software up-to-date.
