> `Simba` names the model family, not the brand. Model ids: `simba-3.2` (English, recommended) and `simba-3.0` (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese; the default). `simba-english` and `simba-multilingual` are retired: a new workspace that sends either gets `400 model_retired`. `SimbaVoice` / `simbavoice.ai` are retired.

# API: New `simba-3.0` streaming model

`simba-3.0` is now available on `POST /v1/audio/speech` and `POST /v1/audio/stream` via the `model` field. It's the new streaming-native voice model with lower TTFB and richer expressivity, including direct support for per-voice speaking-rate and ADV (Arousal, Dominance, Valence) emotion controls inherited from the voice catalog.

```json
{
  "input": "Hello, world!",
  "voice_id": "george",
  "model": "simba-3.0"
}
```

### Currently English only — multilingual coming soon

`simba-3.0` currently supports English voices only. Requests with a non-English voice return `400` with the rejected locale called out in the message. Multilingual support is coming soon; the model name stays `simba-3.0` across that change, so no migration is required.

For non-English voices today, continue to use `simba-multilingual`.
