### Model Overview
⚠️ Whisper is currently only available via the `keras-hub-nightly` package. Use `pip install keras-hub-nightly` to try this model.

A Whisper encoder-decoder network for speech.

This class implements a Transformer-based encoder-decoder model as
described in
["Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356).
It includes the embedding lookups and transformer layers, but not the head
for predicting the next token.

The default constructor gives a fully customizable, randomly initialized Whisper
model with any number of layers, heads, and embedding dimensions. To load
preset architectures and weights, use the `from_preset()` constructor.

Disclaimer: Pre-trained models are provided on an "as is" basis, without
warranties or conditions of any kind. The underlying model is provided by a
third party and subject to a separate license, available
[here](https://github.com/openai/whisper).


__Arguments__


- __vocabulary_size__: int. The size of the token vocabulary.
- __num_layers__: int. The number of transformer encoder layers and
    transformer decoder layers.
- __num_heads__: int. The number of attention heads for each transformer.
    The hidden size must be divisible by the number of attention heads.
- __hidden_dim__: int. The size of the transformer encoding and pooler layers.
- __intermediate_dim__: int. The output dimension of the first Dense layer in
    a two-layer feedforward network for each transformer.
- __num_mels__: int. The number of mel-frequency filters. Defaults to `80`.
- __dropout__: float. Dropout probability for the Transformer encoder.
- __max_encoder_sequence_length__: int. The maximum sequence length that the
    audio encoder can consume. Since the second convolutional layer in
    the encoder reduces the sequence length by half (stride of 2), we
    use `max_encoder_sequence_length // 2` as the sequence length for the
    positional embedding layer.
- __max_decoder_sequence_length__: int. The maximum sequence length that the
    text decoder can consume.

import keras_core as keras
import numpy as np
```



```python
input_data = {
    "encoder_features": np.ones(shape=(1, 12, 80), dtype="int32"),
