In 167.1 - large-v3 now is using the official model.

What does it mean?

You answered:

Logically it should mean that before it was using a non-official model, no?

I am using Subtitle Edit and the model that this program downloaded. How can I download the official version of the model?
I thought the file format of the fast-whisper model was different from whisper.cpp

Is this version the official version?

And why did versions from 160.x become 167.x? Has there been a jump forward a few versions?

Current Subtitle Edit version auto-downloads r160.7, that version is using non-official model because it provided the v3 model a month before it was officially released.

If you use it in terminal then it audownloads models, for SE you can download them from there -> https://huggingface.co/Systran

Yes, it's different.

Major version number is the Commits/revisions included from the original repo:

What is SE, which one do you recommend? that auto downloaded or SE?

"SE" is short for Subtitle Edit, it can be used as a GUI.

Can't answer the other questions as they don't make sense.
