Open-source speech recognition model, self-hostable with stable multilingual performance
We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
The model is open source, free and self-hostable; a hosted API bills by usage — see the official site.

You have picked it and want it running. Install first, understand later — the vocabulary makes more sense once the tool is on your screen.
You are still comparing. See where this tool sits in the landscape before committing an afternoon to it.

OpenAI open-sources Whisper, a multilingual speech-recognition model.
https://openai.com/index/whisper/Solid dots mark events whose subject is this tool; hollow dots mark events that mention it. All entries come from this site's timeline, where every event carries a reachable source.
First release: not stated. Not derived automatically. The earliest timeline event mentioning this tool may be a version milestone, a different product with the same name, or a passing mention rather than a launch; each needs checking against an official source, so this is left empty.
We have not published a hands-on review of Whisper yet. This entry is a structured summary; the in-depth review will appear here.
