Variants in this repo
| Subfolder | Format | Use case |
|---|---|---|
safetensors/ | PyTorch safetensors (FP32) | GPU inference (highest quality) |
ct2-int8/ | CTranslate2 INT8 | CPU inference (~25% size, 2-4× faster) |

Usage
from transformers import WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperProcessor
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("WindstormLabs/listen-windy-plus", subfolder="safetensors")
model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("WindstormLabs/listen-windy-plus", subfolder="safetensors")
For CPU inference via CTranslate2:
import ctranslate2
# After downloading the ct2-int8 subfolder:
model = ctranslate2.models.Whisper("path/to/ct2-int8/")
Apps
The Windy Word apps are built on this model family.
