• Best for: the recommended balance of high accuracy and fast transcription

whisper.cpp uses a custom GGML binary format for Whisper. The model file is therefore named .bin, not .gguf, even though this repository follows the common -GGUF repository naming convention.

No low-bit quantization was applied. Matrix weights are stored as F16, while tensors that whisper.cpp requires in F32 remain F32.
