Since December 2022, developers have managed to cut the costs of running the neural network by 90% thanks to &#8220;extensive optimizations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Whisper large-V2 model costs $0.006 per minute. There is also an open-source version, though the company acknowledges that its rollout may encounter difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Some firms have already gained API access.
