# Deepgram Flux Multilingual STT Now Available for LiveKit Agents on Telnyx

### 3, Jun 2026

Deepgram Flux Multilingual STT is now available for LiveKit agents on Telnyx. Set the model to `deepgram/flux-multi` or `flux-multi` in the Telnyx LiveKit plugin to transcribe conversations where speakers switch between languages, with the same low-latency Flux turn-taking controls already available for English.

### What's new

* **Flux Multilingual model:** Set `model="deepgram/flux-multi"` or `model="flux-multi"` in the Telnyx LiveKit plugin to enable multilingual speech recognition with automatic language detection.
* **Language hints:** Pass `language_hint=["en", "es"]` to bias detection toward expected languages. Telnyx normalizes locale tags (e.g. "pt-BR" becomes "pt").
* **Flux turn-taking controls:** The same `eot_threshold`, `eot_timeout_ms`, and `eager_eot_threshold` parameters available for English Flux work identically with Flux Multilingual.

### Why it matters

* Voice AI agents serving global customers need to handle callers who switch languages mid-conversation, or who speak a different language than the default. Flux Multilingual detects the spoken language automatically, no configuration per call needed.
* Running multilingual STT through the same Telnyx-hosted pipeline keeps audio and transcription on the same private backbone, avoiding the latency added when routing through a separate provider.

### Example use cases

* A customer support line serving North America, where callers may switch between English and Spanish mid-call.
* A travel booking agent handling multilingual callers across Europe, using `language_hint` to bias toward likely languages.
* A healthcare platform with patients who speak their primary language but switch to English for medical terminology.

### Getting started

1. Install or update the Telnyx LiveKit plugin: `pip install "telnyx-livekit-plugin @ git+https://github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-livekit-plugin.git#subdirectory=telnyx-livekit-plugin"`
2. Set the STT model to `deepgram/flux-multi` in your agent configuration.
3. Optionally add `language_hint` to bias detection toward expected languages.
4. Deploy your LiveKit agent as usual.
