How do I get whisper to allow larger files in the request?

[_j]

You cannot fix what isn’t broken.

The user will expect you to turn their nonsensical huge files into reasonable data transfers - still with limits considering that you pay $0.10 per 15 minutes…

Whisper API, increase file limit >25 MB

It is possible to increase the limit to hours by re-encoding the audio. As the primary purpose of the service is transcription, you can use voice codec and bitrate. For example, a command to get exactly what you want. ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -vn -map_metadata -1 -ac 1 -c:a libopus -b:a 12k -application voip audio.ogg Opus is one of the highest quality audio encoders at low bitrates, and is supported by Whisper in ogg container.
