owsm_ctc_v4_1B

espnet · owsm_ctc_v4_1B

Open Whisper-style Speech Model (OWSM) is the first **fully open** Whisper-style speech foundation model. It reproduces and advances OpenAI's Whisper-style training using publicly available data and open-source toolkits. The code, pre-trained model weights, and training logs are publicly released to promote open science in speech foundation models. OWSM-CTC (Peng et al., ACL 2024) is a novel encoder-only speech foundation model based on hierarchical multi-task self-conditioned CTC. It supports multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, and language identification within a single non-autoregressive model. OWSM-CTC v4 is trained for three epochs on 320k hours of public audio data covering multilingual speech recognition, any-to-any speech translation, and language identification. The newly curated data are publicly released: https://huggingface.co/datasets/espnet/yodas_owsmv4

Frequently asked questions

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.
