Voice benchmark evidence
Audio Realism Benchmark is an owner-defined voice evaluation. Its result stays separate from BenchLM's weighted text-model ranking.
Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

Questions
How does Cartesia Sonic 3.6 perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Cartesia Sonic 3.6 has published speech or voice results in Audio Realism Benchmark. Those results remain separate from the weighted text-model ranking, so this profile does not assign a BenchLM score or overall rank. Use the linked evaluation's metric and run conditions to compare speech systems.
Does Cartesia Sonic 3.6 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Cartesia Sonic 3.6's speech or voice results appear in Audio Realism Benchmark, but it has no published text-model benchmark rows. The voice evaluation does not fill the text-model coverage slots or produce an overall rank. Missing text coverage is not treated as a zero score.
What is the context window size of Cartesia Sonic 3.6?
Cartesia Sonic 3.6 has a reported context window of N/A in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
