Distil-Whisper: Distil-Large-v3.5 for CTranslate2#
This repository contains the model weights for distil-large-v3.5 converted to CTranslate2 format. CTranslate2 is a fast inference engine for Transformer models and is the supported backend for the Faster-Whisper package.
The following code snippet loads the distil-large-v3 model and runs inference on an example file from the LibriSpeech ASR dataset:
import torch
from faster_whisper import WhisperModel
from datasets import load_dataset
# define our torch configuration
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
compute_type = "float16" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "float32"
# load model on GPU if available, else cpu
model = WhisperModel("distil-whisper/distil-large-v3.5-ct2", device=device, compute_type=compute_type)
# load toy dataset for example
dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
sample = dataset[1]["audio"]["path"]
segments, info = model.transcribe(sample, beam_size=5, language="en")
for segment in segments:
print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text))
To transcribe a local audio file, simply pass the path to the audio file as the audio argument to transcribe:
segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3", beam_size=5, language="en")
