Whisper large v3 turbo

Model Overview

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on >5M hours of labeled data, Whisper demonstrates a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains in a zero-shot setting.

  • Model Architecture:Whisper large-v3-turbo is a finetuned version of a pruned Whisper large-v3. In other words, it's the exact same model, except that the number of decoding layers have reduced from 32 to 4
