Same error here. Did you figure out how to cater? |

This commit adds the `skip_model_load` argument to the `convert_encoder`
and `convert_decoder` functions in the `convert-whisper-to-coreml.py`
file.
The motivation for this is that this is only needed if one intends to
perform inference on the model after conversion. In this case it also
seem to avoid an issue with larger models where the following error is
throws:
```console

@MushR00m @cssyncing Would one of you be able to see if #3060 works for you? |
Thanks for the fix. it looks like working fine. here are some of the coremlcompiler crash logs. compile crash log |
|
Sorry about this, I'm getting this error as well. I had been running the python script directly when looking into this and obviously never ran the conversion bash script and therefor did not notice this. I'll take another look and see what the issues and if the current fix is just hiding this error. Update: I've updated the linked PR with a commit which tries to address this. |

* coreml : skip model load in convert-whisper-to-coreml.py
This commit updates the conversion process for Whisper models to use the
"mlprogram" format instead of "neuralnetwork".
The motivation for this change is that when using the "neuralnetwork"
format the underlying model produced is based on protobuf and my
understanding is that there are limitations to this format, such as
sizes of strings and the complexity of the model.
Currently when trying to convert larger models such as large-v3 the
conversion fails but succeeds for smaller models.
The "mlprogram" format is a more recent addition to CoreML and is
designed to be more flexible and powerful, allowing for more complex
models and larger data types. This seems to work for larger and smaller
models alike and unless I'm there are considerations that I'm not aware
of I think this is what we should be using moving forward.
The error that is generated for large models is the following:
```console

Closing this as #3060 has been merged. Please let us know if this did not fix this issue for you. |

tag 1.7.5, this problem has occurred again. There is no issue with the medium model, but the large-v1 model doesn't work. below is the outpus: |
