I can’t find any cost comparison between OpenAI’s Whisper API and Whisper on Azure. Can someone provide some information on this?
Hi!
But note that it only works in a handful of regions, you need to create a resource in the appropriate region
That said, I’d be curious to know how much it costs to host it yourself

Thank you @Diet. Any idea if they allow to fine tune whisper model on Azure?
I don’t think so
Technically whisper is still in preview
It’s kind of hard to navigate azure and half of the regions are overloaded for finetunes, but europe west has whisper, but is not giving me the option to finetune it
on the other hand, west europe is not supposed to have babbage finetune either, so who even knows lol
so I’d guess not, you’d have to self host
That said, azure has super complicated user tiers and it might be offered to some managed accounts, but my guess is that you’d probably have to self-deploy.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
