Format: nvfp4-pack-quantized (compressed-tensors). 4-bit FP4 weights, per-block FP8 (E4M3) scales, per-tensor FP32 global scales; activations dynamically quantized to FP4.
Calibration: 32 Persian clips from Reza2kn/persian-asr-eval-v0 (held out from the WER eval set).
Hardware target: NVIDIA Blackwell tensor cores (sm_100+). Quantized on RTX 5080 Laptop (sm_120).
Quantized layers: all Linear modules in the encoder/decoder (CTC lm_head / proj_out left full precision).

Variant	WER ↓	CER ↓	clips	per-clip latency	peak VRAM
NVFP4 (this repo)	41.24%	14.12%	200	605 ms	348 MiB

Persian text normalization for WER/CER: NFKC, ZWNJ → space, ي→ی / ك→ک, digit folding, punctuation stripping, whitespace collapse.

Usage

python

import torch
import soundfile as sf
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel

repo = "Reza2kn/Mojtabazarrin_whisper-base-fa-NVFP4"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(repo)
# Load in bfloat16 — NVFP4 weights decompress to bf16 inside CompressedLinear.
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(repo, dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda").eval()

(See the original Mojtabazarrin/whisper-base-fa model card for arch-specific decoding boilerplate.)
