[Purfview]

Released Mac OS X executable of Standalone Faster-Whisper.

Should be compatible with Mac OS X v10.15 and above.

@Purfview, thank you for this release!

Could you consider creating an executable for Apple Silicon as well?
With similar faster-whisper implementations, such as whisper-ctranslate2, whisperx, I found transcribing approximately twice faster on this CPU type.

To improve performance, I tried to set --compute_type=int8, because I've read that it should be the best regarding speed.
However, no matter how I set is, 'int8' or 'auto", the selected type will be 'int8_float32' according to Verbose mode output:

Supported compute types by CPU: {'float32', 'int8', 'int8_float32', 'int16'}
Selected compute type: int8_float32

Apple Silicon

Atm, I don't have such.

I understand, thank you for work, anyway!

Amazing work by @Purfview Seconded on hoping for a Apple Silicon executable. Current MacOS executable works on Silicon but just takes an extra 15 seconds to start up on every use it seems
