Transcribe audio and video with OpenAI Whisper on an NVIDIA Tesla P40 (24 GB VRAM, Pascal architecture), with audio kept on your own server. GPU servers are not orderable yet; contact us to be notified when they are.
$ pip install openai-whisper && whisper audio.mp3 --model large-v3 --device cuda
# Example install command
OpenAI Whisper is an open-source speech recognition model. Running it on a GPU is much faster than on a CPU and keeps your audio on your own server.
Whisper runs much faster on a GPU than on a CPU.
Whisper transcribes and translates speech in 99 languages.
Audio stays on your server.
Work through large audio libraries in batches.
Whisper can use an NVIDIA GPU to speed up its work. VPS.org GPU servers are not available to order yet; contact us to hear when they are. Whisper is an audio / speech workload. CPU-side I/O matters as much as GPU compute, so make sure your disk read speeds keep up with batch processing.
GPU servers are not available to order yet. Today you can run Whisper on a regular CPU plan, where it works far more slowly than on a GPU: SSH in and run pip install openai-whisper && whisper audio.mp3 --model large-v3 --device cuda.
Audio models are generally VRAM-light. Whisper Large fits in about 10 GB of VRAM, and TTS models typically need 2 to 8 GB.
GPU pricing will be published when GPU servers can be ordered. Contact us if you want to hear when that happens.
Yes. Every VPS.org server comes with full root access, so you can run other tools alongside Whisper within the server's RAM and storage.
Every VPS.org server comes with full root SSH access, so you can install drivers, libraries and Whisper however you need.
No. No server comes with a CUDA runtime or NVIDIA driver preinstalled, and GPU servers are not available to order yet. You install the versions Whisper needs yourself.
Yes. VPS.org servers are persistent virtual machines, not ephemeral instances: Whisper models, configs and data stay on the server's SSD storage until you delete them.
Keep working data on the server's SSD for fast access during Whisper runs, and copy finished artifacts (weights, generations, embeddings) to storage outside VPS.org; snapshots and backups stay on the same storage cluster.
You can upgrade any VPS.org server to a larger plan from the control panel; the resize restarts it and your Whisper install carries over. GPU servers are not available yet.
Yes. Backups are a paid add-on (daily +30% of the plan price, kept 7 days; weekly +20%, kept 28 days) and snapshots are free, which is useful before long Whisper runs. Both stay on the same storage cluster as the server.
