About Vapi
Vapi rounds out transcriber options, real-time signals, and monitoring as its voice infra hardens for production
Vapi's recent releases concentrate on production-grade voice infrastructure rather than new capability surfaces. The transcriber lineup is expanding — Soniox is now GA, Deepgram Flux gained multilingual support, and an autofallback plan lets the platform pick a backup transcriber mid-call if the primary fails. Real-time signals for UI consumers are also maturing: assistant.speechStarted went GA with per-word timing on ElevenLabs and cursor-based word progress on Minimax, opening clean integrations for live captions and karaoke-style UI. Squads agent handoffs picked up a previousAssistantMessages context type, and Monitoring graduated to GA in mid-April with trigger-based rules and dashboard alerts.
