What is the best way to use a custom, fine-tuned Whisper model with this library?

[tgvarner]

I want to use a custom, fine-tuned model with this library. What is the cleanest solution to do so, such that I can call :

whisper.load_model("/path/to/custom/model")

How should I go about storing and converting the files (https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v3/tree/main) stored in the HG repository to load the model via the above function?

I found this thread: #1170, but I didn't find it helpful. Has anyone figured out a clean and way to do this?

Thanks!

either see #830
