Fast Whisper inference on Groq hardware — poor Arabic quality with inconsistent latency.
Groq's fast hardware can't compensate for Whisper's poor Arabic handling. Quality is unacceptable and latency is too inconsistent for voice agents.
Groq offers hardware-accelerated Whisper Large v3 Turbo inference. While marketed as the fastest Whisper endpoint, Arabic transcription quality was horrible in production testing, with wildly inconsistent latency ranging from 284ms to 3.4 seconds.
Described as 'horrible' transcription quality for Arabic in production testing.
