| # Available Models |
| Not all of the models that are made available with Whisper have yet been uploaded into this area yet. I will slowly |
| add them one by one as needed for xos. This documentation will be updated eventually and synchronized with the rest |
| of the projects specifications. |
|
|
| ## Models and Languages |
|
|
| There are six model sizes, four with English-only versions, offering speed and accuracy tradeoffs. |
| Below are the names of the available models and their approximate memory requirements and inference speed relative to the large model. |
| The relative speeds below are measured by transcribing English speech on a A100, and the real-world speed may vary significantly depending on many factors including the language, the speaking speed, and the available hardware. |
