whisper small.en

Runs as your own dedicated GPU deployment, ready to launch from the wizard. Data stays in Europe.

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labelled data, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run whisper small.en in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs whisper small.en 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 small.en 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 small.en cost?

whisper small.en needs several GPUs at once, so it runs as a dedicated deployment billed per GPU-hour rather than per token. Tell us your volume and we will work it out with you.

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.
