Phoronix: Mozilla Developing Whisperfile For Local Audio-To-Text Translation

The Mozilla Ocho group leads "innovation and experiments" at Mozilla. Following all of their work on Llamafile for easily distributing large language models as a single file that can be easily executed across different hardware/software, their newest effort is Whisperfile for easy audio-to-text translations...

you're saying you've had better commoditized speech to text models before whisper?
