The models whisper-large-v3 and whisper-large-v3-turbo are highly recommended. They can convert audio to subtitles, with performance nearly identical to OpenAI's official models.
Other models are primarily used for text translation, such as llama-3.2-11b-text-preview and llama-3.2-90b-text-preview. It is generally recommended to choose models with larger parameters (e.g., 90b) for better results.
