**Bug description.**
Hi team, been using the inference endpoint for whisper for … months at https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo. Today, all of a sudden, the API started throwing this error
> You have passed more than 3000 mel input features (> 30 seconds) which automatically enables long-form generation which requires the model to predict timestamp tokens. Please either pass `return_timestamps=True` or make sure to pass no more than 3000 mel input features.', 'warnings': ['There was an inference error: You have passed more than 3000 mel input features (> 30 seconds) which automatically enables long-form generation which requires the model to predict timestamp tokens. Please either pass `return_timestamps=True` or make sure to pass no more than 3000 mel input features.
This of course only happens when passing in samples longer than 30 seconds, and is replicable through the UI.
Passing a `return_timestamp` parameter in the HTTP request does not solve the issue, either in boolean or string form (True/"true")
`parameters = {
"language": "en",
"temperature": "0.0",
"return_timestamps": True}`
Using `generation_params` also fails here.
**Describe the expected behaviour**
The endpoint should run inference as it has previously. Samples exceeding 30 seconds were supported without any issues and no parameter had to be provided.
Hmm, I only know the staff who are visible…
If it’s related to Whisper, Serverless Inference API, or servers, then michellehbn , Wauplin , pierric , or victor ?meganariley …julien-c .
Hi everyone, thanks for reporting. We’re investigating and we’ll get back to you all real soon. Thanks in advance for bearing with us
