whisper-large-v3
OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 speech-to-text model. It is small next to a chat model. The usual question is language coverage, which the model card states and this page does not re-score.
Freshness uses the repository open date. This record is 1090 days old, opened 2023-11-07. Popularity uses 3,582,870 downloads and 6,721 likes listed by Hugging Face. Checked 2026-11-01. Neither number grades answers. Formulas.
Hugging Face reports 31.7 GB of storage for the whole repository. That figure can include several packs, so the fit table does not use it as the size of one file.
Will it fit?
Save a machine on the hardware page and this block fills in. The table already has the sizes.
| Pack | Size | Saved machine |
|---|---|---|
| Weight shards summed | 12.3 GB weights + 1.0 GB allowance. File: 4 shard files in the repository root. | Choose a machine |
| FP16 estimate | 3.1 GB weights + 1.0 GB allowance. | Choose a machine |
Estimate rows use the parameter count. A measured row names a file in the repository. The allowance is fixed: it stands in for context or activations, and it is not a measurement from a run.
How to run it
Speech models in this directory are small beside a chat model. The runtime is the one named in the publisher repository. Whisper checkpoints are commonly run in faster-whisper or whisper.cpp.

This directory is assembled from public model records. Freshness is age. Popularity is downloads and likes. A fit figure is an estimate from a parameter count or from a published file size, not a run on our hardware. How the numbers are made. AI disclosure.
