Hello! I'd like to use this model for the transcriber but when I pass that through speechModel it gives me an error. When will it be available in VAPI? It's been live for a while on Assembly... <@1217074286553206885> <@1233640756548206643>

**Currently, Vapi only supports the `universal-streaming-english` model for AssemblyAI transcribers.** Using `universal-3-pro` will result in an error because it is not yet supported.

Here’s how to configure your transcriber:
```json
"transcriber": {
  "provider": "assembly-ai",
  "speechModel": "universal-streaming-english"
}
```
*There is no public information on when or if "universal-3-pro" will be available in Vapi.*  
For updates, please monitor the [Vapi AssemblyAI documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/providers/transcriber/assembly-ai).

Hi,

At the moment, **AssemblyAI’s** `universal-3-pro` **model is not supported in Vapi.**

Vapi’s AssemblyAI transcriber integration uses a strict whitelist and currently allows only the following streaming models:
• `universal-streaming-english`
• `universal-streaming-multilingual`

If you attempt to use `universal-3-pro`, it will not work because it isn’t included in the supported model list for the integration.

For now, we recommend using one of the supported streaming models listed above.

Thanks I figured it wasn't available. My question was when would it be? Currently universal-streaming-multilingual still makes more mistakes than universal-3-pro
