+ # Open4bits / Whisper Tiny FP16
163
+
164
+ This repository provides the **Whisper Tiny model converted to FP16 (float16) precision**, published by Open4bits to enable highly efficient inference with minimal memory usage.
165
+
166
+ The underlying Whisper model and architecture are **owned by OpenAI**. This repository contains only a precision-converted version of the original model weights.
167
+
168
+ The model is designed for fast, lightweight multilingual speech-to-text tasks and is well suited for resource-constrained environments.
169
+

172
+ ## Model Overview
173
+
174
+ Whisper is a sequence-to-sequence transformer model developed by OpenAI for automatic speech recognition and speech translation.
175
+ This release uses the **Tiny** variant, prioritizing speed and low memory usage while preserving the original architecture.
176
+

+
179
+ ## Model Details
180
+
181
+ - **Architecture:** Whisper Tiny
182
+ - **Parameters:** ~37.85 million
183
+ - **Precision:** float16 (FP16)
184
+ - **Task:** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
185
+ - **Languages:** Multilingual
186
+ - **Weight tying:** Preserved
187
+ - **Compatibility:** Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch
188
+
189
+ Compared to larger Whisper variants, this model offers significantly faster inference and lower VRAM requirements, with reduced accuracy in some scenarios.

192
+
193
+ ## Intended Use
194
+
195
+ This model is intended for:
196
+ - Fast speech-to-text transcription
197
+ - Lightweight and real-time ASR applications
198
+ - Edge or low-resource deployments
199
+ - Research and prototyping
200

202
+
203
+ ## Limitations
204
+
205
+ * Lower transcription accuracy compared to larger Whisper variants
206
+ * Performance depends on audio quality, language, and accent
207
+ * Not fine-tuned for domain-specific or noisy audio
