Community-tested models

AI models tested for Arabic

Arabic: partialMSAarenmulti

State-of-the-art open speech recognition covering 99+ languages and the default open ASR baseline for Arabic products, though Arabic is one language among many rather than a focus and dialectal Arabic remains its weak point. Note the licence inconsistency: this model card states Apache 2.0 while the openai/whisper GitHub repo and the large-v3-turbo card state MIT.
