# Deepgram Self-Hosted October 2026 Release (261020)

[Deepgram self-hosted release 261020](<https://developers.deepgram.com/changelog/2026/10/20#deepgram-self-hosted-october-2026-release-261020>) changes the Flux runtime to load only .dgv2 model files. With Flux enabled and only an older .dg file present, Engine exits at startup.

The Engine image also requires NVIDIA driver 580 or later with the open kernel module flavor. Keep Engine 261001 or earlier if you still need the older Flux runtime.

All four self-hosted services have -fips image variants with a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic provider. Use those images and enable FIPS in each service's configuration. Standard images don't include the provider, and selecting a FIPS image doesn't certify the whole deployment.
