These files are published for the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime. ExecuTorch gives no forward compatibility guarantee, so an older runtime may fail to load them.
To use them in React Native ExecuTorch, pass the model constant shipped in the library's model registry to the corresponding task pipeline. See the documentation.
To load these files in your own ExecuTorch runtime, read the compatibility note first.

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys react-native-executorch-whisper-en for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (react-native-executorch-whisper-en below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="react-native-executorch-whisper-en" -F file=@audio.mp3
