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-260826-fips

    • Equivalent image to:
      • quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:1.192.31-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 General Availability — Flux TTS is now generally available (GA) on self-hosted.
  • Flux TTS Expressivity — a new 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.

ForceEndTurn client message

You can now end the current user turn from your own signal instead of waiting for end-of-turn detection.

ForceEndTurn

Send ForceEndTurn to end the turn in progress immediately. The agent treats everything transcribed so far as the complete user utterance and moves on to think and speak.

{
  "type": "ForceEndTurn"
}

Use it for push-to-talk release, DTMF tones, UI actions, or to drive turn taking from your own VAD or endpointing stack.

ForceEndTurn requires a Deepgram V2 (Flux) listen provider (agent.listen.provider.version set to v2). With any other listen provider the server sends a FORCE_END_TURN_UNSUPPORTED warning and the turn does not end.

For details, see Force End Turn.

eot_threshold maximum raised to 1.0

agent.listen.provider.eot_threshold now accepts values up to 1.0. Set it to 1.0 to fully suppress natural end-of-turn detection and own turn taking with ForceEndTurn.

For details, see Configure the Voice Agent and Bring Your Own Turn Detection.
