Groq's LPU-based Whisper-large-v3 endpoint — exceptionally low-latency transcription.
Best for latency-sensitive transcription where Groq's LPU throughput is the differentiator. Pricing: from $0.111/hr (whisper-large-v3, batch).
What it is
Groq hosts Whisper-large-v3 and Whisper-large-v3-turbo on its LPU inference hardware via an OpenAI-compatible /audio/transcriptions endpoint. Strong selling point is real-wall-clock speed — transcribing audio many times faster than its duration. No streaming, no built-in diarization. Pricing is per-hour-of-audio. Good fit for product flows where users wait for a transcript to render. Best fit: latency-sensitive transcription where groq's lpu throughput is the differentiator. Caveats: batch only at last check; no streaming endpoint; no built-in diarization. Pricing as listed: from $0.111/hr (whisper-large-v3, batch). Feature flags from vendor docs: word-level timestamps. Directory tags: commercial-api, model-host. Last vendor-page check: 2026-05-12.
Watch out for: Batch only at last check; no streaming endpoint; no built-in diarization.

Where is the Groq (Whisper endpoints) category heading?
Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.
