# whisper-large-v3-turbo-it-yodas-only-ct2-int8

[CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) INT8 quantized version of [LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-turbo-it-yodas-only](https://huggingface.co/LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-turbo-it-yodas-only) for fast CPU inference.

**Author:** Ettore Di Giacinto

Brought to you by the [LocalAI](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI) team. This model can be used directly with [LocalAI](https://localai.io).

## Training

- **Base model:** openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo, fine-tuned on YODAS-Granary Italian (asr_only + ast capped at 200000)
- **Quantization:** INT8 via CTranslate2

## Usage

### faster-whisper

```python
from faster_whisper import WhisperModel

model = WhisperModel("LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-turbo-it-yodas-only-ct2-int8", device="cpu", compute_type="int8")
segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3", language="it")
for segment in segments:
    print(f"[{segment.start:.1f}s - {segment.end:.1f}s] {segment.text}")
```

### WhisperX

```python
import whisperx

model = whisperx.load_model("LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-turbo-it-yodas-only-ct2-int8", device="cpu", compute_type="int8")
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3", language="it")
```
