whisper-base-quant-ct2

Model Card for Model ID

This model is quantized using the Quanto Python Package and the CTranslate2 Python Package. From my early tests:

• Much less GPU memory required
• It seems that performance is on par with the original
• It seems that this combination is faster than just using the CTranslate2 int8 quantization.

Quantization method TBA. To use this model use the faster_whisper module as stated in the original faster-whisper model Or use WhisperX, this is what I used for my small tests (do not forget to set dtype to int8).

Any benchmark results are appreciated. I probably do not have time to do it myself.
