Reference runtime command

A representative invocation for reproducing this workload class. Source-specific runs may use adjacent runtimes unless the record says otherwise.

shell
whisper-cli -m ggml-large-v3.bin -f sample.wav --language en --output-txt

Real-time factor = (audio duration ÷ transcription wall time). Higher = faster than real-time.
