whisper-large-v3-fp16-ov
- Model creator: OpenAI
- Original model: whisper-large-v3
Description
This is whisper-large-v3 model converted to the OpenVINO™ IR (Intermediate Representation) format with weights compressed to FP16.
Compatibility
The provided OpenVINO™ IR model is compatible with:
- OpenVINO version 2025.2.0 and higher
- Optimum Intel 1.23.0 and higher
Running Model Inference with Optimum Intel
- Install packages required for using Optimum Intel integration with the OpenVINO backend:
pip install optimum[openvino] "datasets<4" librosa soundfile --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
- Run model inference:
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import AutoProcessor
from optimum.intel.openvino import OVModelForSpeechSeq2Seq
model_id = "OpenVINO/whisper-large-v3-fp16-ov"
tokenizer = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = OVModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id)
dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation", trust_remote_code=True)
sample = dataset[0]
input_features = tokenizer(
sample["audio"]["array"],
sampling_rate=sample["audio"]["sampling_rate"],
return_tensors="pt",
).input_features
outputs = model.generate(input_features)
text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs)[0]
print(text)
Running Model Inference with OpenVINO GenAI
- Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.
pip install huggingface_hub "datasets<4" librosa soundfile
pip install -U --pre --extra-index-url https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/simple/wheels/nightly openvino openvino-tokenizers openvino-genai
- Download model from HuggingFace Hub
import huggingface_hub as hf_hub
model_id = "OpenVINO/whisper-large-v3-fp16-ov"
model_path = "whisper-large-v3-fp16-ov"
hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)
- Run model inference:
import openvino_genai as ov_genai
import datasets
device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.WhisperPipeline(model_path, device)
dataset = datasets.load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation", trust_remote_code=True)
sample = dataset[0]["audio"]["array"]
print(pipe.generate(sample))
