whisper.cpp

Very large, active development team

Over the past twelve months, 192 developers contributed new code to whisper.cpp. This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Open Hub.

For this measurement, Open Hub considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 234 developers have contributed.

Young, but established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to whisper.cpp in September, 2022. If this young project has had recent activity, then it likely has passed its critical early start-up period, and has become established. The project still may be rapidly changing, innovative and exciting, and finding its focus.

As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.

Note: The source code for whisper.cpp might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.

Few source code comments

whisper.cpp is written mostly in C++.

Across all C++ projects on Open Hub, 21% of all source code lines are comments.

This lack of comments puts whisper.cpp among the lowest one-third of all C++ projects on Open Hub.

A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
