whisper-small-it-yodas-only-ggml
whisper.cpp GGML quantizations of LocalAI-io/whisper-small-it-yodas-only for fast CPU/GPU inference.
Author: Ettore Di Giacinto
Brought to you by the LocalAI team. These models can be used directly with LocalAI and any whisper.cpp-based runtime.
Files
| File | Quantization | Description |
|---|---|---|
ggml-model-f16.bin | float16 | Full precision (no quantization) — highest quality |
ggml-model-q8_0.bin | int8 | 8-bit quantization — minimal quality loss |
ggml-model-q5_0.bin | int5 | 5-bit quantization — good quality/size tradeoff |
ggml-model-q4_0.bin | int4 | 4-bit quantization — smallest size, fastest |
Training
Fine-tuned openai/whisper-small (244M params) on YODAS-Granary Italian (asr_only ~87k + ast 200k cap, conversational YouTube audio).
See LocalAI-io/whisper-small-it-yodas-only for the full safetensors model and detailed WER results.
Usage
