--- title: "Whisper Large V3 AI model: facts and benchmarks | Kendr" canonical: "https://kendr.org/models/openai-whisper-large-v3" date_modified: "2026-08-12" profile_kind: "reference" --- # Whisper Large V3 model profile Whisper Large V3 is a OpenAI model profile with a no verified token context limit in this snapshot. The dated catalog snapshot records audio, transcription modalities and interfaces for audio input, speech transcription, structured output. Whisper Large V3 is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt. Whisper Large V3 accepts audio and returns transcription. The snapshot records audio input, speech transcription, and structured output as capabilities or interfaces. The dated unit-price records list $0.0015 per minute for audio_input. Each figure retains its billable dimension, variant, provider, source, and evidence date. No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated. No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated. Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated. ## Profile facts - **Profile type:** Model research profile - **Provider or publisher:** OpenAI - **Context window:** No verified limit - **Snapshot date:** 2026-08-12 - **Reference catalog ID:** openai/whisper-large-v3 ## Context, modalities, and identity Whisper Large V3 accepts audio and returns transcription.
