Model overview
Distil-Whisper was proposed in the paper Robust Knowledge Distillation via Large-Scale Pseudo Labelling. It is a distilled version of the Whisper model that is **6 times faster**, 49% smaller, and performs **within 1% WER** on out-of-distribution evaluation sets. This is the repository for distil-small.en, a distilled variant of Whisper small.en. It is the **smallest Distil-Whisper checkpoint**, with just 166M parameters, making it the ideal choice for memory constrained applications (e.g. on-device). For most other applications, the distil-medium.en or distil-large-v2 checkpoints are recommended, since they are both faster and achieve better WER results:

Limitations & considerations
Sources are insufficient to establish specific limitations. Verify task performance, latency, data policies, licensing and version lifecycle.
Source prices & cost analysis
Prices vary by channel, region and configuration. Channel quotes are listed independently and are not treated as a single official provider price.

Do open weights permit free commercial use?
Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.
Are these real-time billing prices?
These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
