A reading of the Whisper paper (Radford et al., 2022) built strictly from its own text. Waveform to log-Mel spectrogram, an encoder-decoder that emits text directly, and how 680,000 hours produced robustness without fine-tuning — with the numbers the paper actually measured and the limits it admits to.
