### This Release Contains The Following Changes

* Adds `redact_usage` functionality to redact the values of keyterms and other URL parameters. This is now enabled by default, and may be toggled via the `redact_usage` boolean feature flag in api.toml. See our [redact usage documentation](/docs/self-hosted-redact-usage) for more information.
* Adds targeted support for CUDA 12.8. We recommend updating to the latest CUDA 12.8 release for optimal performance and stability. See our [driver installation doc](/docs/drivers-and-containerization-platforms#download-and-install-the-official-drivers) for guidance on updating to newer NVIDIA driver and CUDA toolkit versions.
* Returns a 400 Unknown Model error with reference to our [error documentation](/docs/errors#400-unknown-model-query-parameters-specify-a-model-that-does-not-exist) when NER is misconfigured.
* Ensures presence of a word-level `language` tag on multilingual transcripts that apply smart formatting.
* Improves smart formatting of dates, alphanumerics, and numbers with units.
* Keeps our software up-to-date.

**Reminder**: The Deepgram image repositories have been updated to reflect our "self-hosted" naming. Images should now be pulled from the `self-hosted-*` Quay repositories. Through August 2025, both `onprem-*` and `self-hosted-*` image repositories will receive identical image updates monthly, and we will announce image tags in the `self-hosted` repositories. **Starting in September 2025, we will only publish new images to `self-hosted-*` repos, deprecating `onprem-*` repository variants.**
