Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

whisper scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Quick start

Installation

# Requires Python 3.8-3.11
pip install -U openai-whisper

# Requires ffmpeg
# macOS: brew install ffmpeg
# Ubuntu: sudo apt install ffmpeg
# Windows: choco install ffmpeg

Basic transcription

import whisper

# Load model
model = whisper.load_model("base")

# Transcribe
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")

# Print text
print(result["text"])

# Access segments
for segment in result["segments"]:
    print(f"[{segment['start']:.2f}s - {segment['end']:.2f}s] {segment['text']}")

Model sizes

# Available models
models = ["tiny", "base", "small", "medium", "large", "turbo"]

# Load specific model
model = whisper.load_model("turbo")  # Fastest, good quality
Model Parameters English-only Multilingual Speed VRAM
tiny 39M ~32x ~1 GB
base 74M ~16x ~1 GB
small 244M ~6x ~2 GB
medium 769M ~2x ~5 GB
large 1550M 1x ~10 GB
turbo 809M ~8x ~6 GB

Recommendation: Use turbo for best speed/quality, base for prototyping

Transcription options

Language specification

# Auto-detect language
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")

# Specify language (faster)
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3", language="en")

# Supported: en, es, fr, de, it, pt, ru, ja, ko, zh, and 89 more

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
