Model Details: INT8 Whisper medium

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labelled data, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning.

This int8 ONNX model is generated by neural-compressor and the fp32 model can be exported with below command:

optimum-cli export onnx --model openai/whisper-medium whisper-medium-with-past/ --task automatic-speech-recognition-with-past --opset 13

Intended Use Description
Primary intended uses You can use the raw model for automatic speech recognition inference
Primary intended users Anyone doing automatic speech recognition inference
Out-of-scope uses This model in most cases will need to be fine-tuned for your particular task. The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

How to use

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
