INT4 Whisper tiny ONNX Model

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labelled data, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning. This is the repository of INT4 weight only quantization for the Whisper tiny model in ONNX format, powered by Intel® Neural Compressor and Intel® Extension for Transformers.

This INT4 ONNX model is generated by Intel® Neural Compressor's weight-only quantization method.

Intended Use	Description
Primary intended uses	You can use the raw model for automatic speech recognition inference
Primary intended users	Anyone doing automatic speech recognition inference
Out-of-scope uses	This model in most cases will need to be fine-tuned for your particular task. The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

Export to ONNX Model

The FP32 model is exported with openai/whisper-tiny:

optimum-cli export onnx --model openai/whisper-tiny whisper-tiny-with-past/ --task automatic-speech-recognition-with-past --opset 13

Install ONNX Runtime

Install onnxruntime>=1.16.0 to support MatMulFpQ4 operator.

Run Quantization

Build Intel® Neural Compressor from master branch and run INT4 weight-only quantization.

The weight-only quantization cofiguration is as below:

dtype	group_size	scheme	algorithm
INT4	32	asym	RTN

We provide the key code below. For the complete script, please refer to whisper example.

from neural_compressor import quantization, PostTrainingQuantConfig
from neural_compressor.utils.constant import FP32

model_list = ['encoder_model.onnx', 'decoder_model.onnx', 'decoder_with_past_model.onnx']
for model in model_list:
    config = PostTrainingQuantConfig(
        approach="weight_only",
        calibration_sampling_size=[8],
        op_type_dict={".*": {"weight": {"bits": 4, 
                                        "algorithm": ["RTN"], 
                                        "scheme": ["asym"], 
                                        "group_size": 32}}},
        op_name_dict={'/proj_out/MatMul': FP32},) # fallback last matmul in decoder to FP32
    q_model = quantization.fit(
        os.path.join("/path/to/whisper-tiny-with-past", model), # FP32 model path
        config,
        calib_dataloader=dataloader)
    q_model.save(os.path.join("/path/to/whisper-tiny-onnx-int4", model)) # INT4 model path
