OpenAI Whisper - llamafile
Whisperfile is a high-performance implementation of OpenAI's Whisper created by Mozilla Ocho as part of the llamafile project, based on the whisper.cpp software written by Georgi Gerganov, et al.
- Model creator: OpenAI
- Original models: openai/whisper-release
- Origin of quantized weights: ggerganov/whisper.cpp
The model is packaged into executable weights, which we call whisperfiles. This makes it easy to use the model on Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD for AMD64 and ARM64.
Quickstart
Running the following on a desktop OS will transcribe the speech of a
wav/mp3/ogg/flac file into text. The -pc
flag enables confidence color
coding.
wget https://huggingface.co/Mozilla/whisperfile/resolve/main/whisper-tiny.en.llamafile
wget https://huggingface.co/Mozilla/whisperfile/resolve/main/raven_poe_64kb.mp3
chmod +x whisper-tiny.en.llamafile
./whisper-tiny.en.llamafile -f raven_poe_64kb.mp3 -pc
There's also an HTTP server available:
./whisper-tiny.en.llamafile
You can also read the man page:
./whisper-tiny.en.llamafile --help
