Questions About quran-fastconformer-ctc-ar

How much GPU memory does quran-fastconformer-ctc-ar need?

About 0.3 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (109M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run quran-fastconformer-ctc-ar on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Can I use quran-fastconformer-ctc-ar commercially?

Yes. quran-fastconformer-ctc-ar is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. CC BY 4.0 permits sharing and adapting the work, including commercially, provided the creator is credited and changes are indicated.

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labelled data, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning. Whisper was proposed in the paper Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision by Alec Radford et al from OpenAI. The original code repository can be found here.
