Whisper model files in custom ggml format

The original Whisper PyTorch models provided by OpenAI have been converted to custom ggml format in order to be able to load them in C/C++. The conversion has been performed using the convert-pt-to-ggml.py script. You can either obtain the original models and generate the ggml files yourself using the conversion script, or you can use the download-ggml-model.sh script to download the already converted models. Currently, they are hosted on the following locations:

Sample usage:

$ ./download-ggml-model.sh base.en
Downloading ggml model base.en ...
models/ggml-base.en.bin          100%[=============================================>] 141.11M  5.41MB/s    in 22s
Done! Model 'base.en' saved in 'models/ggml-base.en.bin'
You can now use it like this:

  $ ./main -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f samples/jfk.wav

A third option to obtain the model files is to download them from Hugging Face:

Model files for testing purposes

The model files prefixed with for-tests- are empty (i.e. do not contain any weights) and are used by the CI for testing purposes. They are directly included in this repository for convenience and the Github Actions CI uses them to run various sanitizer tests.

Fine-tuned models

There are community efforts for creating fine-tuned Whisper models using extra training data. For example, this blog post describes a method for fine-tuning using Hugging Face (HF) Transformer implementation of Whisper. The produced models are in slightly different format compared to the original OpenAI format. To read the HF models you can use the convert-h5-to-ggml.py script like this:

git clone https://github.com/openai/whisper
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

# clone HF fine-tuned model (this is just an example)
git clone https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-base.en

# convert the model to ggml
python3 ./whisper.cpp/models/convert-h5-to-ggml.py ./whisper-medium/ ./whisper .
