## Whisper model files in custom ggml format
The [original Whisper PyTorch models provided by OpenAI](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/__init__.py#L17-L27)
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](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](download-ggml-model.sh)
script to download the already converted models. Currently, they are hosted on the following locations:
- https://huggingface.co/datasets/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
- https://ggml.ggerganov.com
Sample usage:
```java
$ ./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:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main

## 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](https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper) 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](convert-h5-to-ggml.py) script like this:
```bash
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 .
```
