Congrats on the launch! Been eagerly sitting in the #elixir IRC channel all day :)

How easy would it be to support OpenAI's new Whisper transcription model in Bumblebee?

It should not be too hard! From what I saw Whisper is similar to Bart, and we have Bart. The missing piece is a library for audio processing to tensors.

Would Nx Signal be that missing piece? https://github.com/polvalente/nx-signal

For some of it! I was thinking more something for loading different audio encodings to Nx tensors…so doing everything up until Nx

I don't have the ML chops to make it happen, but whisper would be insanely useful to have in the tool chest.
