The language model is just for picking an LLM that auto-formats your transcription after Whisper converts it, and embedding models are deprecated now (they used to support some notes features, which we're now doing a different way). Note that if you ever use Amical's cloud model, it handles both transcription and formatting automatically, so you don't need to set anything there.
So you're good to go with just Whisper Large v3! 🚀
