- `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:release-260826-fips`
  - Equivalent image to:
    - `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:1.192.31-fips`

- `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:release-260826-fips`
  - Equivalent image to:
    - `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:3.128.0-fips`

- `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:release-260826-fips`
  - Equivalent image to:
    - `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:1.11.0-1-fips`

  - Equivalent image to:
    - `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-billing:1.14.0-1-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](/guides/deployment-fips-compliant-deployment) for setup and configuration details.

### This Release Contains The Following Changes

- **Flux TTS General Availability** — Flux TTS is now generally available (GA) on self-hosted.
- **Flux TTS Expressivity** — a new [expressivity](/guides/tts-voice-controls-tts-expressivity) control makes a Flux TTS voice more calm or more animated. Ask your Deepgram representative for the accompanying new model version `f94b1bd5`.
- **Wider Flux TTS `speed` Range** — Flux TTS `speed` now runs from `0.5` to `1.5` in `0.05` increments, up from `0.85`–`1.15`.
- **Smart Formatting Improvements** — improved currency and date formatting, and improved Japanese end-of-sentence punctuation.
- **General Improvements** — dependency and security updates, and refreshed base images.
