Bench index

Bench is our quality index for every model, 0 to 100. It rests on public measurements (Epoch AI with about 40 benchmarks, LiveBench, LMArena and more) and is refreshed every morning. Where nobody measures, it shows an estimate with a range.

94.2 / 100 · Open ASR

Measured on the Open ASR leaderboard: 100 minus the average word error rate (5.8%).

Frequently asked questions

Can I run whisper large v3 in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs whisper large v3 on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting whisper large v3 GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does whisper large v3 cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.0035 per minute of audio, billed per second, with no fixed costs.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.
