Frequently Asked Questions
Self-hosting uses the same usage-based pricing as our cloud service with no additional fees. You only pay for active sessions, and are eligible for volume-based discounts.
Self-hosting can reduce latency by 50-200ms in regions distant from our cloud endpoints, such as Australia, Singapore, or South America. For users already close to our cloud infrastructure, our standard cloud API with Global Edge Routing typically delivers comparable performance without operational overhead.
Our containerized deployment supports GPU configurations. Each instance handles up to 48 concurrent streams with no degradation in runtime
AssemblyAI provides a Docker Compose demo for initial setup. For production deployments on Kubernetes, AWS ECS, or other orchestration platforms, our Applied AI Engineers work directly with your team to design and implement infrastructure that fits your requirements.
Yes. Self-hosting enables deployment in any region, including government clouds (GovCloud), and countries with data sovereignty requirements or hardware import restrictions.
