Reproduction

Merely run:
WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/whisper-tiny")

Error is:

  File "/home/probst/Projects/whisper-iara/finetune.py", line 101, in __init__
    self.processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained(

    raise ValueError(
ValueError: Calling WhisperTokenizer.from_pretrained() with the path to a single file or url is not supported for this tokenizer. Use a model identifier or the path to a directory instead.

The code above works for whisper-tiny.en, whisper-base, whisper-small and so on, but not for whisper-tiny.

The workaround for now is to manually git clone the repository and specify the local path to it.

Expected behavior

I should be able to load the model without any errors.
