GGML (now largely superseded by GGUF, but still widely used) is a tensor library for machine learning designed for and running on commodity hardware (CPUs). Created by Georgi Gerganov, the GGML format allows AI models to run on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), Intel CPUs, and even Raspberry Pis by sacrificing a tiny bit of accuracy for massive speed gains. ggml-medium.bin
The GGML ecosystem thrives on offering a spectrum. Here’s how the Whisper medium compares: ggml-medium
