Deepgram Whisper Cloud: 3X Faster and 20% Cheaper Than OpenAI’s

Deepgram has introduced its fully managed Whisper API that supports all five open-source models and offers faster, more reliable, and cheaper services compared to OpenAI's offerings. The Deepgram Whisper Cloud is 3 times faster and 20% cheaper than OpenAI's Whisper Large model. It also includes built-in diarization, word-level timestamps, and an 80x higher file size limit. Deepgram has addressed the limitations of OpenAI's Whisper API by providing support for all five models, adding diarization and word-level timestamps, increasing the file size limit to 2 GB, and enabling on-prem deployments. The Deepgram Whisper "Large" model is priced at $0.0048/minute, making it more affordable than OpenAI's native offering.
