Subject: [PATCH] models: correct audio pricing rows; add
 tinfoil/voxtral-small-24b
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- whisper-large-v3-turbo: $0.01 per request (flat, zero per-token) — the old
  $0.05/1M-input row was stale (co-op/support#48)
- voxtral-tts: $0.002 per request (was 'listed $0 (verify on invoice)')
- new: tinfoil/voxtral-small-24b, Tinfoil's token-priced STT model
  ($0.20/1M in + $0.60/1M out), with the chunk-equivalent note for the
  transcription route and a chat-with-input_audio example
- note why dashboard audio rows read '$0.01 · 0 tokens' (Tinfoil returns no
  token usage for audio)

+Tinfoil bills these at cost, but its audio API returns **no token usage** to
+the gateway — so dashboard rows for these models read `$0.01 · 0 tokens`: the
+charge is real, the token columns stay empty.
+
+`whisper-large-v3-turbo` and `voxtral-tts` charge **flat per request**.
+`voxtral-small-24b` is token-priced and the better pick for small requests:
+sent through the chat API with `input_audio` it meters exactly per token, and
+on `/v1/audio/transcriptions` (the route dictation uses) the gateway bills
+Tinfoil's measured chunk-equivalent — their audio encoder tokenizes in ~30 s
+chunks, so a short request costs ≈**$0.0001**, about 1/125th of the whisper
+floor. For audio longer than ~30 s, prefer the chat route, which meters
+exactly.
