Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4997

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I know that there have been at least 2 reports of this bug already, but I have seen them and I can't find a solution. I have an AMD processor but I am running the desktop app, not Docker.

Whenever I try to use the STT, it says "Unsupported model type: whisper". I tried downloading the model separately, but it makes no difference. However, what I did find out, is that after switching the language (and forcing the download and usage of the multilingual tiny whisper), the error disappears. Therefore I am thinking that there is some problem specifically within the whisper-tiny.en model.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Use the "Speak your prompt" button while language is set to English.

This is odd, i have cannot get this replication to occur even when swapping languages and such. The model from HF is pulled into the application storage (in the window for electron) which is why downloading it does not impact this. It would appear that whisper-tiny.en might have failed to download some part of its config/file and is crashing due to that missing file in storage.

For this, we have a new control on the settings page to clear the storage of that so you can freshly re-download the file in the next release. Depending on your connection at the time it could have not pulled fully and is failing to load or is corrupt. I know HF has blocks for people on VPNs or if you are based in China - specifically we see that a lot and have to mirror some critical path assets on our CDN to patch that.

You are probably right, I did a reinstall for another reason and it seems to be okay. However a setting that would allow to redownload files after suspecting corruption would be amazin.

That is exactly the solution! Will be in next patch so we can wipe it from storage and then on next execution it will re-pull (and hopefully function)
