Malaysian-Whisper-Tiny (MLX)

Apple MLX-converted weights for PishangShedappp/malaysian-whisper-base-mlx optimized for Apple Silicon.

• Format: MLX (weights.safetensors, config.json)
• Intended runtime: mlx-whisper on Apple Silicon (M-series)

Usage (Python)

import mlx_whisper
result = mlx_whisper.transcribe(
    "/path/to/audio.wav",
    path_or_hf_repo="<this-repo>",
    # Optional decoding controls
    language="ms",               # Malay
    task="transcribe",           # or "translate"
    temperature=0.0,
    no_speech_threshold=0.3,
    logprob_threshold=-1.0,
    compression_ratio_threshold=2.4,
)
print(result["text"])
