// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Whisper

Whisper is an AI model from OpenAI that can accurately transcribe spoken language into text and translate it into different languages.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Whisper is a robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI, trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and text, capable of performing multilingual speech recognition and speech translation.

BACKGROUND

Prompt injection is a cybersecurity exploit and an attack vector in which innocuous-looking inputs are designed to cause unintended behavior in machine learning models, particularly large language models (LLMs). The attack takes advantage of the model's inability to distinguish between developer-defined prompts and user inputs to bypass safeguards and influence model behaviour. While LLMs are designed to follow trusted instructions, they can be manipulated into carrying out unintended responses through carefully crafted inputs.

  • AssemblyAI

    A leading provider of Speech-to-Text APIs. While developing their own proprietary ASR models, they also offer access to Whisper through their platform, providing a comprehensive suite of speech AI services.

  • Deepgram

    An AI company offering enterprise-grade speech-to-text and audio intelligence APIs. They develop their own deep learning ASR models, often focusing on high speed and accuracy, and are a major competitor and alternative to Whisper.

  • Gladia

    A company that has built a speech-to-text API specifically designed to be a faster, more cost-effective, and enterprise-ready alternative to Whisper, while aiming for comparable or higher accuracy.

  • Replicate

    A cloud platform that allows developers to easily run and fine-tune open-source machine learning models. They host several versions of Whisper, providing a simple API for developers to integrate the model into their applications.

  • Modal Labs

    A cloud infrastructure company that provides a serverless platform for running GPU-intensive code. They frequently feature Whisper in their documentation as a primary use case for deploying scalable, high-performance AI models.
