WhisperX, the revolutionary AI model that has taken the world by storm with its unparalleled capabilities in speech-to-text translation. But, have you ever found yourself in a situation where you yearn for the good old days, when WhisperX was still in its infancy, and its simplicity was its charm? Well, you’re not alone! In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of reverting to the version of the WhisperX model that you learned, and restore the nostalgia of those early days.
Why Revert to the Previous Version?
There are several reasons why you might want to revert to the previous version of WhisperX:
- The new updates have introduced unwanted changes that affect your workflow.
- You’re comfortable with the older version and prefer its simplicity.
- You’ve invested a significant amount of time and resources into training the previous model.
- You want to assess the performance of the older model against the new one.
Preparing for the Revert
Before we dive into the process, it’s essential to understand the implications of reverting to the previous version. Please note that:
This process will erase all data and progress made with the current version of WhisperX.
You’ll need to redo any customization or fine-tuning you’ve performed on the current model.
Some features might be deprecated or removed in the previous version.
Are you still willing to proceed? If so, let’s get started!
Step 1: Backup Your Current Progress
Before reverting to the previous version, it’s crucial to backup your current progress. This includes:
- Model weights and biases
- Training data and logs
- Customized configuration files
Use the following command to export your current model weights and biases:
python export_model.py --model_path /path/to/current/model --output_path /path/to/backup
Make sure to replace /path/to/current/model with the actual path to your current WhisperX model, and /path/to/backup with the desired backup location.
Step 2: Download the Previous Version of WhisperX
Visit the WhisperX repository on GitHub and navigate to the Releases section. Find the version you’re interested in reverting to, and download the corresponding model weights and configuration files.
For example, if you want to revert to version 1.2.3, you would download the whisperx-v1.2.3.tar.gz file.
Step 3: Install the Previous Version of WhisperX
Unzip the downloaded file into a new directory, and install the previous version of WhisperX using the following command:
python install_whisperx.py --model_path /path/to/downloaded/model --install_path /path/to/install
Replace /path/to/downloaded/model with the path to the unzipped model weights and configuration files, and /path/to/install with the desired installation location.
Step 4: Configure the Previous Version of WhisperX
Configure the previous version of WhisperX by updating the configuration files to match your desired settings. This includes:
- Model architecture and hyperparameters
- Training data and batch size
- Optimization algorithms and learning rate schedulers
Use the following command to update the configuration files:
python configure_whisperx.py --config_path /path/to/config --update
Replace /path/to/config with the path to your configuration file.
Step 5: Test the Previous Version of WhisperX
Once you’ve configured the previous version of WhisperX, it’s time to put it to the test! Use the following command to run a sample inference:
python test_whisperx.py --model_path /path/to/installed/model --input_file /path/to/input/audio
Replace /path/to/installed/model with the path to the installed previous version of WhisperX, and /path/to/input/audio with the path to a sample audio file.
Conclusion
And that’s it! You’ve successfully reverted to the version of the WhisperX model that you learned. Remember to keep your backup handy, in case you need to switch back to the current version.
Reverting to the previous version of WhisperX can be a valuable learning experience, allowing you to appreciate the simplicity and charm of the earlier model. However, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons before making the switch.
Happy experimenting, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you encounter any issues during the process!

Frequently Asked Question
We’re happy to help you with your WhisperX model concerns!
How do I revert to a previous version of the WhisperX model?
To revert to a previous version of the WhisperX model, simply go to the “Models” tab in your WhisperX dashboard, click on the three dots next to the model version you want to revert to, and select “Revert to this version”. You’ll be prompted to confirm, and once you do, your model will be reverted to the selected version.
Will I lose my progress if I revert to a previous version of the WhisperX model?
Reverting to a previous version of the WhisperX model will not affect your progress or data in any way. Your training data, model performance metrics, and any other settings will remain intact. You can revert to a previous version without worrying about losing your hard work!
Why would I want to revert to a previous version of the WhisperX model?
You might want to revert to a previous version of the WhisperX model if you’ve made changes that you’re not happy with, or if you notice a performance drop-off after updating to a newer version. Reverting to a previous version can help you get back to a stable and familiar state, and then you can try to identify what changes caused the issue.
Can I revert to any previous version of the WhisperX model, or are there limitations?
You can revert to any previous version of the WhisperX model that you’ve trained or used in the past. However, please note that reversion is only possible within a certain time frame (usually 30 days). If you need to access an older version beyond that window, please contact our support team for assistance.
Will WhisperX notify me if there’s a new version available after I revert to a previous one?
Yes, WhisperX will continue to notify you about new version updates, even if you’ve reverted to a previous version. You can choose to update to the latest version at any time, or stick with the version that’s working best for you.
