While the original Distil-Whisper models were trained on timestamps, they degraded significantly after 15-seconds of audio (due to the shorter distribution of audio we trained on). The implementation in Whisper cpp thus deactivated timestamps entirely for these checkpoints.
The latest Distil-Whisper release, distil-large-v3, addresses this problem, giving a model that accurately predicts timestamps in full 30-second windows, much like the original Whisper models.
To improve support for this new checkpoint, we allow timestamp prediction for the new checkpoint in this PR.
