## Whisper model files in custom ggml format
The [original Whisper PyTorch models provided by OpenAI](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/__init__.py#L17-L27)
have been converted to custom `ggml` format in order to be able to load them in C/C++. The conversion has been performed
using the [convert-pt-to-ggml.py](convert-pt-to-ggml.py) script. You can either obtain the original models and generate
the `ggml` files yourself using the conversion script, or you can use the [download-ggml-model.sh](download-ggml-model.sh)
script to download the already converted models. Currently, they are hosted on the following locations:

To convert the files yourself, use the convert-pt-to-ggml.py script. Here is an example usage.
The original PyTorch files are assumed to have been downloaded into ~/.cache/whisper
Change `~/path/to/repo/whisper/` to the location for your copy of the Whisper source:
```
mkdir models/whisper-medium
python models/convert-pt-to-ggml.py ~/.cache/whisper/medium.pt ~/path/to/repo/whisper/ ./models/whisper-medium
mv ./models/whisper-medium/ggml-model.bin models/ggml-medium.bin
rmdir models/whisper-medium
```
A third option to obtain the model files is to download them from Hugging Face:
