SHARK VS whisper.cpp

https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui, https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK, those are the repos for the open source tools mentioned. u/CeFurkan has really nice tutorial videos on YouTube for stable diffusion. Automatic1111 is the most popular open source stable diffusion ui and has the biggest open source plug-in ecosystem currently. Nvidia’s compute driver is separate from normal driver and called cuda. Amd’s compute driver is called rocm. Most windows programs like games use apis like directx, Vulkan,metal, web gpu and not cuda. Most ml code was originally intended to run in on scientific computing systems that were Linux. Today the traditional windows gpu apis are tying to get better at gpu ml supports. Amd has no official windows ml code support and is Hoping that other developers figure it out for them but amd made their ml driver open source but no support for consumer graphics cards. Nvidia is proprietary ml driver but guaranteed support across all cards including consumer

I got it working using SHARK with an AMD RX 480 on Windows 10.

Here the link for shark, faster (uses vulkan) than automatic1111 with directml but has less functions https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK

I would recommend trying out Nod AI's Shark (That is the link for the most recent 786.exe release), and see how it works for you. From others I've read, it does 512x512 pics at around 3 it/s, which I know isn't mind blowing, but it's good enough to do a pic in about 30 seconds.

Problem solve, i had it to work i simply put this nod's ai shark exe in my stabble diffusion folder and launch it instead of Webui-user -> Release nod.ai SHARK 20230623.786 · nod-ai/SHARK (github.com)

How does it compare with Shark SD (I am not affiliated with it in any way)? (https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK)

you should if you want to run SD on your card https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK

Forgive me for not reading you whole comment. I suspect you're version of the SD eb UI doesn't recognize the AMD GPU., so you're using the CPU. AMD GPUs only work with a few web UIs. Try Nod.ai's Shark variant

whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.

The ggml library is one of the first library for local LLM interference. It’s a pure C library that converts models to run on several devices, including desktops, laptops, and even mobile device - and therefore, it can also be considered as a tinkering tool, trying new optimizations, that will then be incorporated into other downstream projects. This tool is at the heart of several other projects, powering LLM interference on desktop or even mobile phones. Subprojects for running specific LLMs or LLM families exists, such as whisper.cpp.

I'm not sure if it is _fully_ openai compatible, but whispercpp has a server bundled that says it is "OAI-like": https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...

I don't have any direct experience with it... I've only played around with whisper locally, using scripts.

unless i'm misunderstanding `whisper.cpp` seems to support streaming & the repository includes a native example[0] and a WASM example[1] with a demo site[2].

Usage 1: Good to transcribe audio. An example use case could be to summarize YouTube videos or long courses. Usage 2: You talk with voice to your AI that responds with text (later with audio too). - https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Has anyone played around with Whisper C++ for swift? I'm hitting a snag even on the demo. I've downloaded the github repo and everything matches up with this video [ https://youtu.be/b10OHCDHDQ4 ] but when he hits the transcribe button, it actually prints out the captioning. When I do it, it skips that part and just says "Done...". But it, does everything else - plays the audio, says it's transcribing.. just doesn't show me the transcription: and it's not in the debug window either. But the demo isn't throwing any errors, and I haven't messed with the code really so this is their example. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
