whisper: No such file or directory: 'mlx_models/config.json'

I'm trying to run whisper, but I'm getting No such file or directory: 'mlx_models/config.json' I converted pytorch large model, the conversion creates this structure: mlx_models/large/config.json So, when I try to do whisper.transcribe(speech_file, model="large"), it doesn't recognize the folder and looks for config.json in mlx_models instead of in mlx_models/large/...

Maybe you are using an outdated whisper? The transcribe function takes an path_or_hf_repo as the second argument which you should set to mlx_models/large if that's where you stored the model.

I think the README for this example needs a little work, I will update it.

Oh, I see. I tried it and it works now. I tried so many versions of model_path, model..., but missed the obvious one. It works with text = whisper.transcribe(speech_file, path_or_hf_repo="mlx_models/large")

For future reference help(whisper.transcribe) will tell you about the arguments it can accept 😄

I checked it twice but somehow misread path_or_hf_repo. I saw path_of_hf_repo. And then I accidentally opened this issue. It's just a brain fog day :dizzy_face:
