Assert the Cartesia model ID.
test_includes_asr_tts_and_turn_detection checks the TTS vendor, API key, and voice, but not model_id. Reverting it to sonic-2 or omitting it would leave the test’s assertions unchanged. Add an assertion for sonic-3.6 to cover this change.
Suggested fix
assert props["tts"]["vendor"] == "cartesia"
assert props["tts"]["params"]["api_key"] == "ctk"
+ assert props["tts"]["params"]["model_id"] == "sonic-3.6"
assert props["tts"]["params"]["voice"] == {"mode": "id", "id": "vid"}🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Description
Cartesia is switching off sonic-2 and sonic-turbo on October 20, 2026 (details: https://docs.cartesia.ai/build-with-cartesia/tts-models/api-changes). This PR moves text-to-speech in this repo to sonic-3.6 before that deadline.
Affected:
apps/agora-moss/start_agent.py:101— Cartesia TTSmodel_idin the Agora ConvoAI join request, changed fromsonic-2tosonic-3.6.apps/livekit-moss-vercel/livekit-voice-agent/livekit-moss-agent/agent.py:289— LiveKit Cartesia TTS plugin model, changed fromsonic-2tosonic-3.6. The README's TTS line was also updated to match.No other sonic-2/sonic-turbo/voice-embedding calls were found elsewhere in the repo.
Note: the new sonic-3.6 voice may sound different from sonic-2 — listen to a sample before deploying.
Cost:
sonic-3.6is 1 credit per character, the same price assonic-2(1 credit). Prices from Cartesia's pricing page, checked September 30, 2026. How to choose: Cartesia's guide.No tests found in this repo for these code paths — please review carefully.
