AITag Review

faster-whisper is SYSTRAN's reimplementation of OpenAI's Whisper on CTranslate2, a fast inference engine for Transformer models: up to 4 times faster than the original for the same accuracy, using less memory, and lighter still with 8-bit quantization on CPU or GPU. One flag returns every word with its start and end time, and a built-in Silero VAD skips the silence. Models go from tiny (75 MB) to large-v3 (2.9 GB) and download themselves from Hugging Face on first use. We use it here to time every caption of our films, on the CPU, with the small model.
