Unknown Model error when using custom model from Huggingface

[leeivan8686]

I am currently using faster whisper R192.3 for Mac and downloaded these models from Huggingface to do transcribing for Japanese language
https://huggingface.co/kotoba-tech/kotoba-whisper-v2.0-faster
https://huggingface.co/CheshireCC/kotoba-whisper-v2.1-faster

When I pointed the command to the folder where I stored the models, I was thrown an unknown model error and to try the known models where it threw me a list of suggestions. Is there a solution to use a custom model in the faster whisper format for Mac?

Add prefix to a model's folder faster-whisper-. For example faster-whisper-kotoba-v2, it hould be located in _models folder.
Command to use it --model kotoba-v2.

And use these settings for finetuned models: --condition_on_previous_text False -prompt None --word_timestamps False

do i need to add this to Faster-Whisper-XXL r245.4?
and do i have to convert tuned model.safetensors to .BIN ?

i'm kinda lost a bit in all this format...after convertion model.safetensors to .BIN i got this error from the script:
RuntimeError: Unsupported model binary version. This executable supports models with binary version v6 or below, but the model has binary version v67324752. This usually means that the model was generated by a later version of CTranslate2.

Can i implement this version of CTranslate2 to Faster-Whisper-XXL r245.4 by getting dll's somewhere?

No idea what your ".BIN" means, you've to convert it to CTranslate2/faster-whisper format. Look elsewhere about how to do it.
