- What it is
- The release post of the Whisper maintainer, dated November 6, 2023, in the official openai/whisper repository, announcing the large-v3 model. It lists how large-v3 differs from the earlier large models: 128 Mel frequency bins instead of 80, and a new language token for Cantonese.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by a maintainer in the official repository, so it is the project's own announcement and its date is shown on the page. It gives no benchmark figures, so accuracy claims come from other sources.
