Notes

Artificial Analysis speech-to-text (https://artificialanalysis.ai/speech-to-text), read 2026-10-25: Fun-Realtime-ASR-preview rank #1, AA-WER 1.7%, $2.82 per 1,000 min. Name mapping is medium confidence: AA never gives an API id; IT Home (2026-07-06) says the AA entry ‘Fun-realtime-ASR-preview’ is the former name of the offline Fun-ASR-Flash (fun-asr-flash-2026-06-15), and AiCoin reports Fun-ASR-Flash took the top AA-WER spot, but AA’s $2.82/1k min matches the Beijing fun-asr-realtime price, not fun-asr-flash. Alibaba’s docs do not use the name ‘Fun-Realtime-ASR’ or label any Fun-ASR model preview, so status is set to current (caller had proposed preview, after AA’s name). Other ids: fun-asr-realtime-2026-02-28 (zh/en/ja + dialects), fun-asr-mtl-realtime-2025-12-10, fun-asr-flash-8k-realtime(-2026-01-28) for 8 kHz telephony, offline fun-asr (diarization, 12 h files). fun-asr-realtime international price includes 10 free hours for 90 days. No Beijing endpoint given on the SDK page. Released date = upgrade announcement 2026-07-06 (IT Home); the fun-asr-realtime line dates back to 2025-09-15 snapshots. No timeline entry yet; related: qwen-audio-3-1-asr, fun-cosyvoice3.
