ruby : VAD separately from ASR

[KitaitiMakoto]

Hi,

I found that we can use VAD feature separately from ASR and added API for that to Ruby bindings.

Thank you for such useful feature and API.

A question. Did you manage to run the VAD on a GPU or is the VAD CPU-only?

Thank you for apprival!

I didn't care about. It seems CPU is used:

whisper.cpp/src/whisper.cpp

Lines 4658 to 4660 in a1867e0

	// TODO: GPU VAD is forced disabled until the performance is improved
	//whisper_context_params.use_gpu = vctx->params.use_gpu;
	whisper_context_params.use_gpu = false;

Thanks for the answer and the link to the code. Indeed CPU-only.
