Support for whisper.cpp

[versae]

Any chance of adding support for whisper.cpp? I know whisper.cpp is still stuck with the GGML format instead of GGUF, but it would be great to have portable whisper binaries that just work.

[benwilcock]

I agree, Whisper is awesome. I used to use it at the command line (which was very slow). I now use this project, and the inference times are 5-10x faster: https://github.com/jhj0517/Whisper-WebUI

I would also love speech input support for this, not only because it would be a really cool feature, but also because I sometimes get a bit of RSI so anything to help reduce the amount of typing needed is very helpful.

[Kreijstal]

yeah this would be nice to have in the llama server, llamafile was the only way I have figured out to run this things I've been hearing about for a year!

[ingenieroariel]

Speech input is a big feature in my use case, I do it now with GPT-4 on iPhone but doing the same with llamafile's server would be fantastic. What are the main blockers?

[smrl]

Please, very interested in this use-case!

[flatsiedatsie]

Devil's advocate: it's not very difficult to run whisper separately and pipe any recognised sentences into Llamafile? I'm literally doing that right now, for example. It's also relatively easy to do in the browser.

What would be the benefit? Would this integration allow the LLM to start processing detected words earlier?

[jart]

It would have the same benefit that llamafile does. You wouldn't have to compile the software yourself.

[AmgadHasan]

Hi.

Is there any update regarding this request?

[jart]

I was able to build whisper.cpp using cosmocc with very few modifications.

I made a couple changes to cosmopolitan upstream that'll be incorporated in the next release for making it easier to build. More work would need to be done to do it as well as llamafile packages llama.cpp. But until then, you have this:

Any instructions on how to package it together with a GGML model? Thanks again!

I just tried to compile it myself, to see it I was able to also get the stream binary to work. But after I apply the patch, the make command errors out with exponent has no digits:

whisper.cpp:2575:27: error: exponent has no digits
 2575 |         double theta = (2*M_PI*i)/SIN_COS_N_COUNT;
      |                           ^~~~

      |                                          ^~~~

I run it like this:

$ make CC=bin/cosmocc CXX=bin/cosmoc++ stream

[jart]

@versae in your cosmocc toolchain just change include/libc/math.h to use the non-hex constants instead:

#define M_E        2.7182818284590452354  /* 𝑒 */

This will ship in the next cosmocc release.

After some tweaking, I was able to compile my own cosmocc and then use it to compile main, quantize and even server 🎉 . However, for stream there seems to be some issue with SDL2 library.

/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_config.h:4:10: fatal error: SDL2/_real_SDL_config.h: No such file or directory
    4 | #include <SDL2/_real_SDL_config.h>

make: *** [Makefile:402: stream] Error 1

I'll keep investigating as this could easily be some rookie mistake on my side.

Would it make sense to create a whisperllama repo for this?

@jart I am in progress on getting a version of whisper.cpp built with llamafile, specifically the server example

The executable itself is working and seems to be compiling properly for CUDA. However I would love some help with the file loading from within the zipaligned archive. If you could provide some guidance on what needs to be done in order to implement this portion that would be great.

I have replaced the std::ifstream opening with llamafile_open_gguf, however I am running into errors with this. I recognize maybe this function needs modification in order to load the whisper models which are not .gguf directly. Currently I get the warning warning: not a pkzip archive and it seems like it is trying to load the file from the local directory as opposed to from the zipaligned version. Not sure if I need to manipulate the filepath in some way or if this is handled with some utility function.

I am currently using the files llama.cpp and server.cpp as reference for what I should be doing, but would love any help if you know the implementation off the top of your head.

[jart]

If you've already discovered llamafile/llamafile.c then I'm not sure what other high level guidance I can offer you.

[cjpais]

Thanks @jart, that was all I needed. My C skills are a bit rusty so it was great to know I wasn't missing anything obvious, instead I was just forgetting some C basics

For the time being I've forked the llamafile into: https://github.com/cjpais/whisperfile

If it makes sense to integrate directly into llamafile, I am happy to clean up the code and submit a PR. If this is the case just let me know how you would like the dirs to be structured

[jgbrwn]

Why not just try to integrate/cosmopolitan-ize talk-llama into llamafile? Didn’t he already do all the heavy-lifting around this perhaps?

[cjpais]

it can also be done, probably fairly easy to do in the whisperfile repo. I needed server for a project I am doing so that was my primary focus. If there is enough interest I can port over talk-llama, happy to accept PR's as well

[Tamnac]

I believe this issue can be closed now that we have whisperfile

[jart]

The whisperfile project @cjpais posted earlier is now been made an official Mozilla project. See the whisper.cpp/ folder of the llamafile codebase. Releases have been published to https://huggingface.co/Mozilla/whisperfile so enjoy everyone!
