Announcing the Preview of OpenAI Whisper in Azure OpenAI service and Azure AI Speech

Yesterday, I could get a batch response in Studio after 15-20 mins for a 1.5 min audio against the Whisper Preview model (the results were the same as OpenAI's Whisper API. Yay!). Today I don't even get a response at all even after waiting 30 mins (even tried deleting and recreating my EastUS Speech Service resource)! Unfortunately the Whisper model doesn't seem ready yet for usage. Reverting back to EastUS2 and the 20230315 Batch Transcription Model. OpenAI's Whisper API responds back in 7-15 seconds for this 1.5 mins audio (and others like it).
