whisper-1 given 113 days
OpenAI sets retirement for February 26, 2027
It transcribed the world's podcasts, lectures and voice notes, and never once complained about the audio quality.
whisper-1, an OpenAI model that spoke and listened for a living, has been given a date: February 26, 2027. That is 113 days from this edition. It is 3 years and 8 months old. Visiting hours are open: it still answers every request until that day.
Its work passes to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe, which the family describes as 'recommended'.
