Speech-to-text models are a lot less open than text-generation models. There's a lot less competition in the space. I can also see this space being enterprise heavy, and could command more dollar premiums. I noticed this when shopping for a STT model for a vibe-coded transcription app. You'd need to pay to get the good ones that support diarisation. There's okay ones that support simple transcription that are open. The good ones charge a premium.
