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-261001-fips

  • Equivalent image to:
    • quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:1.192.51-fips

• quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:release-261001-fips

  • Equivalent image to:
    • quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:3.135.0-fips

• quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:release-261001-fips

  • Equivalent image to:
    • quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:1.11.1-1-fips

• quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-billing:release-261001-fips

  • Equivalent image to:
    • quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-billing:1.14.0-3-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.

This Release Contains The Following Changes

• Flux TTS Watermarking (action required) — Flux TTS audio is now watermarked. Flux TTS deployments must add the watermarker model file (watermarker.<uuid>.dgv2, provisioned alongside your Flux TTS models) and set watermarker_uuid under [flux_tts] in your Engine configuration. Engine will not start with Flux TTS enabled if the watermarker is missing. Helm users must set fluxTts.watermarkerUuid: chart upgrades, including helm upgrade --reuse-values, fail at render time until it is set. See Watermarking for details.
• Removed Whisper Support — Engine no longer supports Whisper models. Deployments using Whisper should migrate to Nova-3 before upgrading.
• FIPS Image Metrics and Certificates — Engine FIPS images now report metrics with the engine_ prefix and serve /v1/certificates correctly, matching the standard images.
• Formatting Improvements
  • Numerals formatting now supports Japanese (language=ja), with either numerals=true or smart_format=true.
  • Spoken letters are no longer dropped from entities that are mostly numbers. For example, “W one two three” is now transcribed as W123 instead of 123.
  • Improved Aura-2 reading of German numbers, dates, and measurements, and of Japanese numbers, dates, and currency.
• General Improvements — security fixes in the API base image and dependency updates. Keeps our software up-to-date.
