So, faster-whisper - the implementation of Whisper, that Whishper is utilizing - is not capable of using large-v3 yet. So we need to wait for that to happen.
There is already an issue about it SYSTRAN/faster-whisper#544 but I'm not sure if faster-whisper will migrate to large-v3 since its brilliant developer Guillaume Klein started a job as Machine Learning Engineer at Apple last month.
Keep an eye on this PR: SYSTRAN/faster-whisper#548
When merged, I will update to support it.
Already faster-whisper supported large-v3 and CPU device with parameter --device=CPU.
so SYSTRAN/faster-whisper#578 got merged instead.
So v3 is going to be added to whishper soon then?
