Summary
universal-3-pro/universal-2model list from AssemblyAI transcript requestsspeech_modelsWhy
AssemblyAI will deprecate
universal-3-proon September 2, 2026, after which requests that explicitly name it will fail. The backend currently pins that model in every transcript request.Because
speech_modelsis optional, omitting it lets AssemblyAI route requests to its current Universal default. This avoids the immediate deprecation failure and future app changes solely for renamed default models. See AssemblyAI's model selection documentation.Impact
AssemblyAI cloud transcription continues working after the deprecation and automatically follows AssemblyAI's latest default model. Existing API keys, language hints, and custom spelling behavior are unchanged.
