开源MITOpen source, MIT 本地转写Local transcription 多语言Multilingual 模型非产品Model, not a product 隐私向Privacy-focused partial lifecycle: active 核验Checked 2026-10-22

Whisper 是转写领域的「开源基座」:MIT 权重多档位本地跑,隐私敏感音频不出本机; 它是模型不是产品——会议记录体验要壳件,说话人分离靠衍生生态。

Whisper is the open-source base of transcription: MIT weights in multiple sizes run locally, privacy-sensitive audio never leaves the machine; it's a model, not a product — meeting-note UX needs a shell, diarization needs derivative tooling.

适合与不适合When to use it, when not to

适合:隐私敏感转写、离线环境、开发者集成、多语言。 不适合:开箱会议产品、实时字幕开箱、无 GPU 重度使用。

Fits: privacy-sensitive transcription (audio stays local), offline environments, developer integration (MIT), multilingual. Not a fit: out-of-box meeting-product UX (it's a model), out-of-box diarization, heavy use without a GPU.

国内使用Direct access
大陆可直连direct OK github.com/openai/whisper 大陆直连实测 200(2026-10-22);权重经 Hugging Face 分发,HF 大陆可达性未在本档案实测。github.com/openai/whisper measured 200 direct from mainland (2026-10-22); weights are distributed via Hugging Face, whose mainland reachability was not measured in this profile.
备案状态CAC filing
未见于备案名单not in filing list:开源模型不适用服务备案(不面向公众提供服务);OpenAI 未见于网信办公示名单(2026-10-22 检索)。an open-source model is not subject to service filing (it serves no public service); OpenAI is not in the CAC public registry (searched 2026-10-22).

备案信息以网信办《生成式人工智能服务已备案信息》公示名单为准(按批次滚动更新,本站只抄编号不解读);「大陆可直连」是本站从大陆网络直连实测的结果,不是厂商承诺。GitHub 类站点当日实测有波动,口径写在依据里。Filing status is quoted from the CAC public registry (updated batch by batch; this site copies the number and does not interpret it). "Direct access" is this site's own reachability measurement from a mainland network, not a vendor promise. GitHub-hosted sites fluctuated on the measurement day — the note says so.

模型与开放条件Model & openness

开源转写模型族(tiny→large-v3 多档,官方 README 列模型尺寸与语言覆盖);权重经 Hugging Face 分发(官方 README 链接)。衍生生态庞大:whisper.cpp、faster-whisper、WhisperX 等 (官方 README 提及部分——生态全貌未逐条清点)。

An open-source transcription model family (tiny→large-v3 multiple tiers, the official README lists model sizes and language coverage); weights distributed via Hugging Face (linked from the official README). A huge derivative ecosystem: whisper.cpp, faster-whisper, WhisperX etc. (partially mentioned in the official README — the ecosystem's full shape not inventoried item by item).

运行位置Where it runs

本地运行(Python + PyTorch,官方 README 安装面);GPU/CPU 皆可,档位换速度/质量。 托管线:OpenAI API 的 whisper 转写端点(platform.openai.com 文档线)是同一模型的云形态。

Runs locally (Python + PyTorch, the official README's install surface); GPU or CPU both work, tiers trade speed/quality. Hosted line: the whisper transcription endpoint on the OpenAI API (platform.openai.com docs line) is the cloud form of the same model.

本地文件Local files

完全本地:音频、转写结果都在本机——这是它与所有云端转写产品最根本的数据边界差异。

Fully local: audio and transcription results stay on your machine — this is its most fundamental data-boundary difference from every cloud transcription product.

关机后的任务Tasks after shutdown

批处理任务制(文件进、文本出,本机跑完即退);无后台常驻/记忆概念。

Batch task-based (file in, text out, runs and exits locally); no background-resident/memory concept.

工具与扩展Tools & extensions

CLI 与 Python API(官方仓);时间戳/翻译(译到英文)能力内置(官方 README); VAD/说话人分离不在官方仓——靠 WhisperX 等衍生件(衍生面未逐条核验)。

CLI and Python API (official repo); timestamps/translation (into English) built in (official README); VAD/speaker diarization are not in the official repo — they rely on derivatives like WhisperX (derivative surface not verified item by item).

上下文与记忆Context & memory

无上下文概念——逐段转写;长音频靠分段策略(官方仓有长音频处理说明)。

No context concept — segment-by-segment transcription; long audio relies on segmentation strategies (the official repo has long-audio handling notes).

权限与限制Permissions & limits

本地跑无账号无上传——隐私敏感音频(医疗/法务/私人)走本地是它的不可替代场景; 云端 API 形态则按 OpenAI 平台条款(未逐条核验)。

Running locally means no account, no upload — privacy-sensitive audio (medical/legal/personal) going local is its irreplaceable scenario; the cloud API form follows OpenAI platform terms (not verified item by item).

适合什么任务Best for

适合:隐私敏感的转写(音频不出本机)、离线环境、开发者集成(MIT 无许可负担)、多语言转写。 不适合:开箱即用会议记录产品体验(它是模型不是产品)、说话人分离开箱(要衍生件)、 无 GPU 重度使用(大档位 CPU 慢)。

Fits: privacy-sensitive transcription (audio never leaves your machine), offline environments, developer integration (MIT, no licensing burden), multilingual transcription. Does not fit: out-of-the-box meeting-notes product experience (it is a model, not a product), out-of-the-box speaker diarization (needs derivatives), heavy use without a GPU (big tiers are slow on CPU).

头号误解Top misconception

  • Whisper 是模型不是产品——「会议转写工具」体验(Otter 类)要自己搭壳或用衍生产品Whisper is a model, not a product — 'meeting transcription tool' UX (Otter-type) means building your own shell or using a derivative product
  • 说话人分离/实时流不在官方仓——看到「Whisper 实时字幕」类产品都是衍生件,质量与许可各自核Diarization/live streaming are not in the official repo — 'Whisper live captions' products are all derivatives; verify quality and license individually
  • 官方仓与 OpenAI API 的 whisper 端点是「同模型两形态」——本地 MIT vs 平台条款,数据边界完全不同The official repo and the OpenAI API whisper endpoint are one model in two forms — local MIT vs platform terms, completely different data boundaries

未知项清单Known unknowns

  • 衍生生态全貌(whisper.cpp/faster-whisper/WhisperX 等未逐条核验质量与许可)
  • OpenAI API 端点当前模型版本与本地仓版本是否同步(未核验)
  • 官方后续模型线走向(未核验到声明)
  • The derivative ecosystem's full shape (whisper.cpp/faster-whisper/WhisperX etc., quality and licenses not verified item by item)
  • Whether the OpenAI API endpoint's current model version matches the local repo version (not verified)
  • The official successor model line's direction (no statement verified)

实测记录Measured runs

本档未跑音频质量与延迟测试;结论只覆盖能力面与许可面。

实测建议(三条,都指向官方可读页没给的东西):

  • 中文转写在中/英混说场景的档位选择(large-v3 vs 衍生微调件)
  • whisper.cpp 在消费级 GPU 的实时率
  • 与 Deepgram/AssemblyAI 云端 API 的中文准确率对比

This site has not completed measured runs. The coding-oriented test protocol is at protocols/coding/_protocol.md (the coding task suite does not apply to creation products).

Suggested measurements (three, all pointing at things the official readable pages do not give):

  • Tier choice for Chinese transcription in Chinese/English mixed scenes (large-v3 vs fine-tuned derivatives)
  • whisper.cpp's real-time factor on consumer GPUs
  • Chinese accuracy vs the Deepgram/AssemblyAI cloud APIs
