Is it 0.003 per minute of audio uploaded, or "compute minute"?

For example fal.ai has a Whisper API endpoint priced at "$0.00125 per compute second" which (at 10-25x realtime) is EXTREMELY cheaper than all the competitors.

I think the point is having it for real-time; this is for conversations rather than transcribing audio files.

That quote was for the non-realtime model.

It can actually go much lower. Gemini costs around $0.01/hour of transcription last time I checked.

Both AWS and Mistral prices above are per minute of input audio.

If Voxtral can process rapid speech as well as it claims to, an obvious cost optimization would be to speed up normal laconic speech to the maximum speed the model can handle accurately.
