Whisper large-v3-turbo
Sovereignty and hosting
This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.
Summary
Whisper large-v3-turbo is a distilled version of Whisper large-v3 with 809M parameters, released under the MIT licence. It keeps the same 30-second receptive field and the multilingual language coverage of large-v3 but decodes faster, which is the reason to prefer it where latency matters. The model card is the shared Whisper card and publishes no benchmark table specific to this variant.

When to use it
Strengths
- roughly half the parameters of large-v3 at lower latency
- MIT licence, more permissive than the Apache-2.0 parent
- same multilingual transcription coverage as large-v3
Limits
- a distillation of large-v3, so transcription accuracy is below the parent model
- no benchmark table specific to this variant is published on the model card
- fixed 30-second receptive field, so longer audio needs chunking logic
