## Nova-3 Adds Assamese, Mongolian, and Pashto, Plus Improved Models for Czech, Danish, Swedish, Tagalog, and Turkish

- Mongolian (`mn`) — available for batch and streaming.
- Pashto (`ps`, `ps-AF`) — available for batch and streaming.

Access these languages by setting `model="nova-3"` and the relevant language code in your request.

### ✨ Improved models
