LiveKit Inference adds Fish Audio TTS (incl. a free SKU) and two Gemini variants

LiveKit pricing

LiveKit Inference gained a new TTS vendor, Fish Audio (S2 Pro, S2.1 Pro, and a free S2.1 Pro Free SKU), plus Google Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite and Gemini 3.6 Flash LLM entries. Cloud plan prices are unchanged.

Before

LiveKit Inference TTS catalog covered Cartesia, Deepgram Aura-2, Inworld, Rime, xAI and ElevenLabs; the LLM catalog did not include Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite or Gemini 3.6 Flash.

After

TTS catalog adds Fish Audio S2 Pro ($0.0090/min), S2.1 Pro ($0.0090/min) and S2.1 Pro Free ($0.0000/min), with no Scale-tier discount on any of the three. LLM catalog adds Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite ($0.0013/min) and Gemini 3.6 Flash ($0.0058/min). Build $0 / Ship $50 / Scale $500 / Enterprise custom hold.

LiveKit expanded the model catalog behind LiveKit Inference again, about a month after the previous refresh added GPT-5.6, Grok 4.3/4.5 and Kimi K2.6. This time the notable addition is a brand-new text-to-speech vendor, Fish Audio, whose three SKUs (S2 Pro, S2.1 Pro and a free S2.1 Pro Free tier) join Cartesia, Deepgram, Inworld, Rime, xAI and ElevenLabs on the TTS list, and unlike most other TTS entries, none of the three get a discounted rate on the Scale plan. Two new LLM entries, Google Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite and Gemini 3.6 Flash, also joined the per-minute LLM list.

No LiveKit Cloud plan price, allotment or overage rate moved: Build is still free, Ship starts at $50/mo, Scale at $500/mo, Enterprise is custom, and the pricing-page calculator’s default voice stack still totals $0.0672/min.
