Overview
About this model
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. As a result, the model is way faster, at the expense of a minor quality degradation.

- Can I use Whisper-Large-V3-Turbo commercially through EcoHash?
- EcoHash hosts Whisper-Large-V3-Turbo under the model publisher's own licence and does not change its terms, so whether your use is permitted is decided by that licence — read it on the model card at https://huggingface.co/mobiuslabsgmbh/faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo. The EcoHash Terms of Service additionally require you to comply with each model's licence and acceptable-use policy. Your EcoHash bill for API usage is separate from, and does not grant, any right under the model's licence.
