feat(importers): whisper.cpp HF repos pick a quant + nest under whisper/models#9630
Merged
Conversation
…er/models The WhisperImporter's Import() switch ordered LooksLikeURL ahead of the HuggingFace branch, so any https://huggingface.co/<owner>/<repo> URI (e.g. LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-it-yodas-only-ggml) hijacked the URL path. FilenameFromUrl returned the repo slug, the gallery entry pointed at the HTML repo page, the SHA256 was empty, and the HF file listing was effectively dead code for HTTPS imports. The HF branch only fired for huggingface://owner/repo and hf://owner/repo references. Gate the URL case on a "ggml-*.bin" basename signal — mirroring how the llama-cpp importer gates on ".gguf" — so direct file URLs still take the URL path while HF repo URLs fall through to the HF branch. There the file listing is actually consulted: every ggml-*.bin entry is collected and one is picked by the new preferences.quantizations preference (default q5_0; comma-separated for fallback ordering). Pin the chosen file under whisper/models/<name>/<file> so a single repo can ship q4_0/q5_0/q8_0 side-by-side without colliding on disk, matching the llama-cpp/models/<name>/ layout. The fallback when no preference matches is the last available ggml file, mirroring llama-cpp's pickPreferredGroup behaviour. Tests: replace the previous probe spec with positive assertions against LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-it-yodas-only-ggml (default → ggml-model-q5_0.bin, quantizations=q4_0 → ggml-model-q4_0.bin) plus two offline specs that build a fake hfapi.ModelDetails to cover the fallback rule and non-ggml filtering without touching the network.
