From be9de811717f3072ce485922a83b6ac92df96f52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Bevenius Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 09:53:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] whisper : add check for CPU backend initialization (#2918) This commit adds a check for the CPU backend initialization in the whisper library. If the initialization fails, an exception is thrown. The motivation for this change is to make the library more robust and handle the case when the CPU backend initialization fails.
