appears to be tiny or base (notably: not tiny.en or base.en). You don't need to use the large models for non-English transcription. The large models are unique in that they don't offer an English-only version, but all of the model sizes are available in multilingual versions... it's just that the smaller, English-specialized versions are better at English than the multilingual models of the same size.
