Blogged some notes on the new (still MIT licensed) Whisper Turbo model, quietly released by OpenAI yesterday

It’s both smaller and 8x faster than their previous Whisper Large https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/1/whisper-large-v3-turbo-model/

And you can run it on a Mac with “pip install mlx-whisper” and then:

import mlx_whisper
print(mlx_whisper.transcribe(
"path/to/audio",
path_or_hf_repo="mlx-community/whisper-turbo"
)["text"])
