Flux Multilingual: Conversational STT, Now in 10 Languages

The same model that solved turn detection for English voice agents now works everywhere your customers speak — no language routing, no model-per-language infrastructure, no accuracy tradeoff.

Deepgram is proud to announce the general availability of Flux Multilingual (flux-general-multi), a single model supporting 10 languages with the same turn-aware, interruption-aware conversational intelligence as flux-general-en.

Key Features:

  • 10 languages, one model — English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, and Dutch. No language routing or model-per-language infrastructure required.
  • Language prompting — The optional language_hint parameter biases the model toward specific languages, delivering accuracy on par with dedicated monolingual models. Without hints, the model auto-detects the spoken language.
  • Native code-switching — Handles mid-sentence language switches without configuration changes or reconnections.
  • Language detection on every turn — All TurnInfo events include a languages field reporting detected languages sorted by word count, and a languages_hinted field reflecting the active hints.
  • Mid-stream reconfiguration — Update language hints during a stream using the Configure control message without disconnecting. Supports patterns like detect-then-lock for optimal accuracy.
  • Same Flux architecture — All turn detection, eager end-of-turn, and configuration parameters from flux-general-en work identically.

Use Cases:

Designed for non-English monolingual voice agents, multilingual voice agents, global contact centers, bilingual support lines, and any real-time conversational application where callers may speak different languages. For English-only workloads, continue using flux-general-en.

Getting Started:

Connect to Flux Multilingual by setting model=flux-general-multi on the /v2/listen endpoint — no new credentials or endpoints required. Pricing is the same as flux-general-en.
