2.2.57 — System Update

Full Audio API Support

Apertis now supports the OpenAI-compatible Audio API. Use a single API key to access leading TTS (text-to-speech) and STT (speech-to-text) models across providers.

Supported Models

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

• gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview — Google's latest Flash TTS preview
• gpt-4o-mini-tts — OpenAI's lightweight real-time speech synthesis

Speech-to-Text (STT)

• gpt-4o-transcribe — Flagship high-accuracy transcription
• gpt-4o-mini-transcribe — Cost-efficient real-time transcription
• whisper-large-v3-turbo — Accelerated Whisper v3
• whisper-large-v3 — Full-precision Whisper
• whisper-1 — The classic, battle-tested baseline

Endpoints

Drop-in compatible with the OpenAI SDK — no code changes required:

• POST /v1/audio/speech — text → audio
• POST /v1/audio/transcriptions — audio → text
• POST /v1/audio/translations — audio → translated text

Billing

• PAYG (pay-as-you-go): shares the same quota balance as chat/completions
• Per-dimension billing: priced separately on input tokens / output

tokens / audio seconds, with admin-tunable AudioRatio

• File limit: 25 MB per multipart upload
• Subscriptions: audio models are PAYG-only for now (not included

in subscription plans)

  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(

  # TTS
  speech = client.audio.speech.create(
      model="gpt-4o-mini-tts",
      voice="alloy",
      input="Hello from Apertis."
