ggml-breeze-asr-26

This repository contains whisper.cpp-compatible conversion artifacts for MediaTek-Research/Breeze-ASR-26.

Included files:

• ggml-breeze-asr-26.bin: ggml model for whisper.cpp
• ggml-breeze-asr-26-encoder.mlmodelc/: Core ML encoder compiled for Apple platforms

Upstream model

• Base architecture: openai/whisper-large-v2
• Upstream fine-tuned model: MediaTek-Research/Breeze-ASR-26
• Original license: Apache-2.0

Usage with whisper.cpp

Build whisper.cpp with Core ML enabled:

cmake -B build -DWHISPER_COREML=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release

Run transcription with the converted model:

./build/bin/whisper-cli -m models/ggml-breeze-asr-26.bin -f samples/jfk.wav

When the .mlmodelc directory is placed next to the .bin file, whisper.cpp will load it automatically on Apple platforms.

Conversion

These artifacts were generated with ggml-org/whisper.cpp using:

./models/convert-hf-whisper-model.sh MediaTek-Research/Breeze-ASR-26
