OpenAI's 26/08/2026 notice removes whisper-1 from the API on 26/02/2027, and this app calls it:

  • components/audio-translation.tsx and components/voice/voice-translator.tsx both POST /v1/audio/transcriptions with model: 'whisper-1'
  • the STT dropdown in app/dubbing/page.tsx offers that same path as "OpenAI Whisper"

On that date transcription stops, and nothing in the code checks that the model still exists — so the date goes where someone will actually meet it: a dated item in ROADMAP.md under P2, and three comment lines at each call site.

The comment carries the part that is easy to get wrong: the replacements are gpt-transcribe and gpt-live-transcribe, and gpt-4o-transcribe is not one of them — it was deprecated in the same notice along with gpt-4o-mini-transcribe and gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize. Migrating there would buy the same work twice.

The Groq branch (groq_whisper) is untouched: different vendor, different lifecycle.

No behaviour changes — comments and a roadmap line. npm run typecheck and npm run i18n:check both clean.

OpenAI's 26/08/2026 notice removes whisper-1 from the API on 26/02/2027, and
this app calls it: audio-translation.tsx and voice/voice-translator.tsx both
POST /v1/audio/transcriptions with model 'whisper-1', and the STT dropdown in
dubbing/page.tsx offers that same path as "OpenAI Whisper". On that date the
transcription stops, silently as far as the code is concerned — nothing here
checks the model still exists.

So the date goes where someone will meet it: a dated item in ROADMAP.md under
P2, and three lines at each call site. The comment carries the part that is
easy to get wrong — the replacements are gpt-transcribe and gpt-live-transcribe,
and gpt-4o-transcribe is NOT one of them: it was deprecated in the same notice,
together with gpt-4o-mini-transcribe and gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize. Migrating
there would buy the same work twice.

The Groq branch (groq_whisper) is untouched: different vendor, different
lifecycle.

No behaviour changes: comments and a roadmap line.
