Not for GPU servers Audio software-mansion Speech→text 1 build Open weights 230k dl/mo

whisper-tiny-ExecuTorch is an open-weight audio or speech model from software-mansion. Built for phones (ExecuTorch). It does not run on a GPU server.

  • whisper-tiny-ExecuTorch is an automatic speech recognition model exported by software-mansion for on-device execution.
  • It is provided as ExecuTorch programs for the React Native library and supports backends including coreml, mlx, vulkan, and xnnpack.
  • The model is licensed under apache-2.0 and is compatible with the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime.

Compatibility

These files are published for the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime. ExecuTorch gives no forward compatibility guarantee, so an older runtime may fail to load them.

To use them in React Native ExecuTorch, pass the model constant shipped in the library's model registry to the corresponding task pipeline. See the documentation.

To load these files in your own ExecuTorch runtime, read the compatibility note first.

How it works

How audio & music work

Audio or textinputAudio modelrecognise / synthesiseText or audiooutputSpeech-to-text turns audio into text; text-to-speech and music models turn text into audio.

Running it

Where it runs

Built for phones (ExecuTorch). It does not run on a GPU server.
