State-of-the-art image generation Leonardo models and text-to-speech Deepgram models now available in Workers AI

What this post added

This post introduces the integration of closed-source partner AI models into Workers AI, specifically Leonardo.Ai's image generation models (@cf/leonardo/phoenix-1.0 and @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin) and Deepgram's speech-to-text (@cf/deepgram/nova-3) and text-to-speech (@cf/deepgram/aura-1) models. It details their performance characteristics, provides API examples for both REST and AI binding usage, and highlights how these models can be combined with other Cloudflare developer products (Workers, R2, Images, Realtime) to build comprehensive AI applications like image generation platforms and real-time voice agents. WebSocket support for Deepgram models is also announced.
