Model Details: INT8 Whisper base

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-base whisper-base-with-past/ --task automatic-speech-recognition-with-past --opset 13

How to use

Download the model by cloning the repository:

git clone https://huggingface.co/Intel/whisper-base-int8-static
