Hi everyone!
With the new transcription (Speech-to-Text) API now available, combined with their Voice Agent capabilities, it’s clear that @Grok is making a systematic push to capture the entire Voice AI ecosystem.
Looking specifically at the STT model, they have shipped a highly pragmatic feature set. It includes native WebSocket support for real-time streaming, built-in speaker diarization (a must-have for meetings), and intelligent text formatting that automatically handles numbers and currencies (it's cool and pretty useful in production!).
The pricing is also very aggressive: $0.10 per hour for batch and $0.20 per hour for streaming. xAI is once again putting some real price pressure on the market, isn't it?
@zaczuo How are you all handling noisy real-world audio? Does the streaming hold up, or is batch still king for cleaner results?
the multispeaker diarization built right into the STT is a nice touch — that's usually a painful separate step. how's the latency on the real-time streaming? would love to see benchmarks vs whisper and deepgram
