FIPS 140-3 Images
Section titled “FIPS 140-3 Images”FIPS 140-3 images are available for all four self-hosted services, published under the -fips tag suffix:
quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:release-260812-fipsquay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:release-260812-fipsquay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:release-260812-fipsquay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-billing:release-260812-fips
These images run OpenSSL's FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic provider. Enable FIPS by setting [fips] mode = "enabled" in each service's configuration. FIPS mode should be enabled only on the -fips images; the standard images do not include the FIPS provider. See FIPS-Compliant Deployment for setup and configuration details.
Flux TTS (Early Access)
Section titled “Flux TTS (Early Access)”Flux TTS, Deepgram's streaming-first speech synthesis model, is now available in self-hosted deployments as an Early Access feature. Flux TTS is served on the new /v2/speak endpoint, which offers both a batch REST transport and a real-time WebSocket transport. Aura and Aura-2 continue to be served on /v1/speak and are unchanged.
Flux TTS is off by default. Enabling it requires a dedicated Engine and GPU — Flux TTS and Aura cannot share an Engine, and Flux TTS workers bind to a single GPU — plus a Flux TTS model file, which you can request from your Deepgram account representative. See Deploying Flux TTS for configuration, deployment constraints, and test requests.
For the model, voices, and API surface, see the Flux TTS Overview and the /v2/speak API reference.
