Kip Kissel or Ghip Ghisizzle: what OpenAI's new transcription models actually buy you
OpenAI shipped gpt-transcribe and gpt-live-transcribe and priced the async model below the Whisper endpoint it replaces. I re-ran my own LibriSpeech benchmark against my local pipeline on the same laptop. The API won, by less than the error rate suggests, and the number worth paying for is not the one on the benchmark.
