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.
