Quickstart

Request access

Open models are on Hugging Face. For the API image, request access with your use case and languages. Approval is manual, not instant.

Local check (weights)

pip install -U transformers

Then load the checkpoint named on the model page (ASR, BERT, or MT).

Get your API key

Once approved, you receive an API key with the image tag and runbook. Every /v1 route expects it as:

Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>

Confirm the box is up

curl -s http://<HOST>/health

Expected: { "status": "ok" }. This is a liveness probe, not a healthcare API.

Read Conventions, then an endpoint

Conventions covers language codes and audio format. Then pick one: Transcriptions, Speech, Translate, Embeddings.

Read the license

Confirm terms on Licenses before any redistribution or wrapping.
