whisper-base (Vokra GGUF)

Speech recognition model, converted to the Vokra GGUF format for Vokra, a zero-dependency speech-AI inference runtime.

This is a conversion, not a new model. The weights are the upstream ones; Vokra re-packages them so its runtime can memory-map them directly. Credit for the model belongs upstream — see Source below.

The weights are distributed under apache-2.0, unchanged from upstream. Conversion does not alter the licence, and your obligations run to the upstream author.
