Questions About techno-whisper-myanmar

How much GPU memory does techno-whisper-myanmar need?

About 1.8 GB at 16-bit and 0.5 GB at 4-bit: the weights (764M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run techno-whisper-myanmar 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 techno-whisper-myanmar commercially?

Yes. techno-whisper-myanmar is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

For usage instructions follow openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo. Note for faster-whisper vocab changes make model.ismultilingual and suppresstokens wrong. Please adjust the code as required if you want to use this with faster-whisper. Turbo finetune with japanese tokenizer. Full finetune trained 2^19 steps, batch size 64. Smaller vocab with ~1.6x bytes/token allows faster speed with 4 layers vs 2 layer distil (10% larger decoder). Benchmarks. Short form slightly behind v0.2 (trained less?) but long form much better. Also trained for lyrics but untested. Research supported with Cloud TPUs from Google's TPU Research Cloud (TRC)

Whisper finetune for Japanese focused on general/anime domains. For usage instructions follow openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo. Due to vocab changes ctranslate2>=4.7.1 required for faster-whisper. For inference engines with hardcoded vocab, the token embedding can be padded. Finetuned from turbo with pruned vocab, indices can be found in mapping.txt. Trained decoder only for 2^20 steps, batch size 64. Using a 45000 hour corpus (largest source is 17000 of filtered reazonspeech-all) with custom mixing ratio and augmentation to maintain long form performance and timestamps. Benchmarks. Competitive/SOTA on test sets, slightly better than 1.5B on short form, worse on long form. Also trained for…

whisper-large-v3-turbo

OpenAI

Whisper is a state-of-the-art model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation, proposed in the paper Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision by Alec Radford et al. from OpenAI. Trained on >5M hours of labeled data, Whisper demonstrates a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains in a zero-shot setting. Whisper large-v3-turbo is a finetuned version of a pruned Whisper large-v3. In other words, it's the exact same model, except that the number of decoding layers have reduced from 32 to 4. As a result, the model is way faster, at the expense of a minor quality degradation. You can find more details about it in this GitHub discussion.…

Fine-tuned openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo on Monsoon Hindi ASR data using LoRA (r=32, alpha=64). English capabilities preserved with <10% relative degradation across all benchmarks. LoRA's structural separation (frozen base + low-rank adapters) provides a natural safeguard against catastrophic forgetting.
