+# whisper-tiny-it-ggml
+
+[whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) GGML quantizations of [LocalAI-io/whisper-tiny-it](https://huggingface.co/LocalAI-io/whisper-tiny-it) for fast CPU/GPU inference.
+
+**Author:** Ettore Di Giacinto
+
+Brought to you by the [LocalAI](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI) team. These models can be used directly with [LocalAI](https://localai.io) and any whisper.cpp-based runtime.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Quantization | Description |
+|------|--------------|-------------|
+| `ggml-model-f16.bin` | float16 | Full precision (no quantization) — highest quality |
+| `ggml-model-q8_0.bin` | int8 | 8-bit quantization — minimal quality loss |
+| `ggml-model-q5_1.bin` | int5 | 5-bit quantization with extra precision |
+| `ggml-model-q5_0.bin` | int5 | 5-bit quantization — smallest size |
+
+## Training
+
+Fine-tuned [openai/whisper-tiny](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) (39M params) on **Common Voice 25.0 Italian**.
+
+See [LocalAI-io/whisper-tiny-it](https://huggingface.co/LocalAI-io/whisper-tiny-it) for the full safetensors model and detailed WER results.
+
+## Usage
+
+### whisper.cpp
+
+```bash
+# Download a quant
+huggingface-cli download LocalAI-io/whisper-tiny-it-ggml ggml-model-q5_0.bin --local-dir .
+
+# Run
+./whisper-cli -m ggml-model-q5_0.bin -f audio.wav -l it
+```
+
+### whisper.cpp Python bindings (pywhispercpp)
+
+```python
+from pywhispercpp.model import Model
+
+model = Model("ggml-model-q5_0.bin", language="it")
+segments = model.transcribe("audio.wav")
+for seg in segments:
+    print(seg.text)
+```
+
+### LocalAI
+
+```yaml
+# In your LocalAI model config
+name: whisper-tiny-it
+backend: whisper
+parameters:
+  model: ggml-model-q5_0.bin
+```
