Bringing Whisper and LLaMA to the masses (Changelog Interviews #532)

Published: March 22, 2023, 9 p.m.

b'This week we\\u2019re talking with Georgi Gerganov about his work on Whisper.cpp and llama.cpp. Georgi first crossed our radar with whisper.cpp, his port of OpenAI\\u2019s Whisper model in C and C++. Whisper is a speech recognition model enabling audio transcription and translation. Something we\\u2019re paying close attention to here at Changelog, for obvious reasons. Between the invite and the show\\u2019s recording, he had a new hit project on his hands: llama.cpp. This is a port of Facebook\\u2019s LLaMA model in C and C++. Whisper.cpp made a splash, but llama.cpp is growing in GitHub stars faster than Stable Diffusion did, which was a rocket ship itself.'
