Overview

Azure Voice Live realtime sessions were priced at the model's normal rates. Azure bills Voice Live turns at separate rates, and charges Azure Speech audio (speech-to-text, standard voices, custom/personal voices) differently from the model's native audio. This PR prices Voice Live turns at their own _voice_live rates, including the audio split.

Changes

  • Marking Voice Live sessions: When Azure opens a session on the Voice Live endpoint, it sets a new BifrostContextKeyRealtimePricingSurface context value. The realtime turn pipeline copies this onto the response as ExtraFields.PricingSurface = voice_live. The request type and service tier exposed to plugins and logs are unchanged.
  • Voice type tracking: The realtime session now records the voice's type (azure-standard, azure-custom, azure-personal, and so on) alongside its name. It reads the type from both the top-level session.voice and the nested session.audio.output.voice. A string voice clears the type.
  • Speech audio split: New standard_speech_audio_tokens and custom_speech_audio_tokens usage fields mark the part of audio_tokens that Azure Speech handled. They are carried through the chat usage, responses usage, JSON marshal/unmarshal, usage merge, and the chat↔responses conversions. applyVoiceLivePricing fills them in:
    • Output audio from an Azure standard voice counts as standard speech. Output audio from a custom or personal voice counts as custom speech.
    • A model that doesn't hear audio natively (model name without realtime) has its input audio counted as standard speech, since Azure speech-to-text transcribes it, and speaks through Azure text-to-speech.
  • Cost calculation:
    • Text input, text output, and cache-read rates use the model's flat _voice_live rate when the turn is a Voice Live turn.
    • A new audioTokenCost helper prices audio in three parts: standard speech, custom speech, and the remainder at the audio rate.
    • Every _voice_live rate falls back to its normal rate when unset. Turns not marked Voice Live ignore these rates.
  • Nine new pricing fields: Input/output per token, cache read, input/output per audio token, and input/output per standard and custom speech audio token, each with a _voice_live suffix. They are wired through:
    • datasheet entries and options
    • TableModelPricing
    • a new configstore migration, add_voice_live_pricing_columns
    • pricingSyncUpdateColumns, so datasheet re-syncs update them
    • pricing override patching
    • the OpenAPI PricingPatch schema
    • the UI override form and types
  • Docs: The model catalog architecture page and the custom pricing page now cover the new fields.
  • Trade-offs:
    • Custom speech input is not detected, so it is priced as standard speech.
    • Whether a model hears audio natively is inferred from the model name containing realtime.

  • Docs

How to test

Unit tests cover the new behavior:

  • The pricing-surface marking by the Azure provider.
  • Voice type tracking and audio splitting in the realtime pipeline.
  • Cost calculation, including fallback to normal rates and ignoring _voice_live rates on non-Voice Live turns.
  • Override patching.
  • Pricing sync persistence.
# Core/Transports
go version
go test ./core/providers/azure/... ./core/schemas/...
go test ./framework/modelcatalog/datasheet/... ./framework/configstore/...
go test ./transports/bifrost-http/handlers/...

# Cost benchmarks
go test ./framework/modelcatalog/datasheet/ -bench ComputeTextCost -run '^$'

# UI
cd ui
pnpm i || npm i
pnpm test || npm test
pnpm build || npm run build

To check by hand:

  1. Create a pricing override with the _voice_live fields in pricing_patch. A new e2e collection case (291) covers create, list, and delete.
  2. Run a realtime session against an Azure key with UseVoiceLiveEndpoints enabled.
  3. Confirm the turn cost uses the _voice_live rates, and that a session on a regular Azure OpenAI endpoint does not.

No new environment variables. The migration adds nine nullable columns to the model pricing table.

Screenshots/Recordings

The pricing override form has nine new "(Voice Live)" fields in the audio group. No screenshots attached.

Breaking changes

  • Yes
  • No

The new columns and usage fields are optional and nullable. Existing pricing and non-Voice Live turns are priced exactly as before.

Related issues

N/A

Security considerations

No auth, secrets, or PII changes. The new context key is set only by the provider when it opens the session.

Checklist

  • I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
  • I added/updated tests where appropriate
  • I updated documentation where needed
  • I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
  • I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Azure Voice Live-specific pricing rates for text, cached input, audio, and standard or custom speech tokens.
    • Voice Live rates can be configured through pricing overrides and are applied to eligible realtime usage. When a Voice Live rate is unset, the corresponding standard rate is used.
    • Realtime usage details now include standard and custom speech audio token counts, and identify when Voice Live pricing applies.
  • Documentation
    • Documented Voice Live pricing fields and how rates are applied, including fallback behavior.

The change marks Azure Voice Live realtime sessions, records standard- and custom-speech audio token usage, and adds Voice Live-specific pricing rates. Pricing rates are persisted and exposed through override APIs and the UI. Cost calculation applies configured Voice Live rates, with fallback to normal rates when a Voice Live rate is unset.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve the cached-audio and uncached-text split before pricing input audio.

Azure Voice Live exposes cached audio and cached text as separate billing categories. The current mapping keeps only aggregate cached_tokens and audio_tokens. When those categories overlap, this block prices cached audio at the uncached audio or speech rate and subtracts it from uncached text pricing, while also charging the cached-token rate. Carry the cached-audio or uncached-audio count through the Azure usage mapping, then apply the audio rate and text deduction only to uncached audio.
