Whisper JAX
A JAX implementation of OpenAI's Whisper model offering up to 70x faster transcription on TPUs.
What is Whisper JAX?
Whisper JAX is a high-performance implementation of OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model using JAX. It solves the problem of slow audio transcription by leveraging JAX's Just-In-Time compilation and parallelization to achieve up to 70x faster inference compared to PyTorch versions. The library supports transcription, translation, and timestamp prediction across various hardware including TPUs, GPUs, and CPUs.
Machine learning engineers and researchers working with large-scale audio processing, particularly those needing fast Whisper inference on TPU/GPU clusters. Also suitable for developers building speech recognition services requiring high throughput.
Developers choose Whisper JAX for its unmatched inference speed, hardware flexibility, and seamless integration with the Hugging Face ecosystem. Its unique selling point is the 70x speed-up on TPUs while maintaining full Whisper functionality.
