From the benchmark section you could assume Large-v2, distil-whisper-large-v3 and small are options. But the default option in open-webui base is not even listed. That's why I assume that this is not the list of available models.

Thank you. Maybe it is a language barrier, as I'm not a native speaker.
That's exactly the link I'm referring to. It leads to https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper. But I can't find a list of models in the README.

Args: model_size_or_path: Size of the model to use (tiny, tiny.en, base, base.en, small, small.en, distil-small.en, medium, medium.en, distil-medium.en, large-v1, large-v2, large-v3, large, distil-large-v2, distil-large-v3, large-v3-turbo, or turbo), a path to a converted model directory, or a CTranslate2-converted Whisper model ID from the HF Hub. When a size or a model ID is configured, the converted model is downloaded from the Hugging Face Hub.
