AssemblyAI (speech-to-text / transcription) provider adapter for genblaze

genblaze-assemblyai

AssemblyAI speech-to-text / transcription provider adapter for genblaze.

This connector is the inverse of every other genblaze adapter: instead of generating media it consumes an audio URL and produces a text transcript with word-level timings. The transcript lands as a hash-verified TEXT asset with a provenance manifest, so it composes into pipelines (generate audio → transcribe, caption a generated video) and persists to Backblaze B2 / S3 like any other genblaze step.

Install

pip install genblaze-assemblyai      # or: pip install "genblaze[assemblyai]"
export ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY="..."      # from https://www.assemblyai.com/app/api-keys

Usage

from genblaze_core import Modality, Pipeline
from genblaze_assemblyai import AssemblyAIProvider

run, manifest = (
    Pipeline("transcribe")
    .step(
        AssemblyAIProvider(),
        model="universal-3-pro",                       # speech_models: universal-3-pro | universal-2
        prompt="https://example.com/podcast-episode.mp3",  # or params={"audio_url": ...}, or a chained audio input
        modality=Modality.TEXT,
        speaker_labels=True,                           # any TranscriptionConfig flag passes through
    )
    .run()
)

asset = run.steps[0].assets[0]
print(asset.metadata["text"])          # the transcript
print(asset.audio.word_timings[:3])    # [WordTiming(word=..., start=..., end=...), ...] (seconds)
print(manifest.canonical_hash)

The audio URL is resolved from (in priority order) step.inputs[0].url → step.params["audio_url"] → step.prompt, then SSRF-validated (https:// or file:// only) before submission. step.model selects the AssemblyAI speech model (sent on the SDK's plural speech_models field — the live API retired the singular speech_model field and the best / nano aliases; current values are universal-3-pro / universal-2); every other TranscriptionConfig flag (speaker_labels, language_code, audio-intelligence options, …) passes through step.params.

Pricing

The SDK ships no hardcoded prices. AssemblyAI bills per minute of input audio; the connector captures the input duration in step.provider_payload["audio_duration"] (seconds) during fetch_output. Register a recipe at runtime — see docs/reference/pricing-recipes.md ("AssemblyAI" section):

from genblaze_core.providers import per_response_metric

RATE_PER_MINUTE = RATE  # replace RATE with the per-minute USD rate from assemblyai.com/pricing


def per_minute(ctx):
    seconds = ctx.provider_payload.get("audio_duration")
    return (seconds / 60.0) * RATE_PER_MINUTE if seconds is not None else None


provider = AssemblyAIProvider(api_key="...")
# Speech-model slugs match the connector's family, so register against the
# concrete slug(s) you use (register_pricing layers onto the family spec).
for slug in ("universal-3-pro", "universal-2"):
    provider.models.register_pricing(slug, per_response_metric(per_minute))

Notes

• Out of scope for v1: real-time/streaming transcription, LeMUR (LLM-over-transcript), and first-class SRT/VTT subtitle outputs. Audio- intelligence flags pass through to the API and land in metadata.
