It's easy to run Whisper on my Mac M1. But it's not using MLX out of the box.

I spend an hour or two, trying to run figure out what I need to install / configure to enable it to use MLX. Was getting cryptic Python errors, Torch errors... Gave up on it.

I rented VM with GPU, and started Whisper on it within few minutes.



I've really enjoyed this macOS Whisper GUI[1]. It doesn't use MLX, but does use Metal.

I was able to get it running on MLX on my M2 Max machine within a couple minutes using their example: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/tree/main/whisper


Hmm, I've been using this product for whisper https://betterdictation.com/


Is was released last week. Give it a month or two
