Our new Text-to-Speech model is now the default, with more expressive speech and lower latency. Existing requests using default use the new model without a setup change. gradium-tts-beta also routes to this model until the next TTS beta arrives. Keep that alias to follow future betas, or use default to stay on stable releases.
