Installing Wyoming Whisper without Docker llooks impossible: 404 error when downloading model

Configuration Voice Assistant

Hello,

I would like to test Whisper using Wyoming.
I use Home Assistant core installation, so I have not Docker for anything.
Having Docker installed only for one thing does not look reasonable for me, so I try to install Wyoming Whisper manually.

I looked into the add-on code to see how Wyoming Whisper installed and made the following on my side:

mkdir -p wyoming-whisper/data
cd wyoming-whisper
python3.11 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install wyoming-faster-whisper==0.0.3
python3 -m wyoming_faster_whisper --uri 'tcp://0.0.0.0:10300' --model medium --beam-size "1" --language "fr" --data-dir ./data --download-dir ./data

But when running the last command, I have the following:

WARNING:wyoming_faster_whisper.download:Model hashes do not match
WARNING:wyoming_faster_whisper.download:Expected: {'config.json': 'e5a2f85afc17f73960204cad2b002633', 'model.bin': '5f852c3335fbd24002ffbb965174e3d7', 'vocabulary.txt': 'c1120a13c94a8cbb132489655cdd1854'}

How it could work for the add-on but not manually?
And how could I solve this?

There is a doc issue, there is no “medium” model.
Try model-int8

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I have the same 404 result when specifying medium-int8 instead of medium.
Very strange.

Worked for me: --model medium-int8

I have the same issue. Did you fix it?

If you use Python 3.11 like I do, it requires modifying the source code.
