CUDA 12 required? about faster-whisper

[Purfview]

I understand that CUDA 12 is supported, but does that mean that CUDA 11 is not supported anymore?

Latest versions of ctranslate2 are CUDA12 only, CUDA11 support would be nice.

At the moment for CUDA11 you need to downgrade it:
pip install --force-reinsall ctranslate2==3.24.0

@sidharthrajaram , hello. FW has supported CUDA 12 since version 1.0.0, so you should update your cuda image, for example nvidia/cuda:12.0.0-runtime-ubuntu20.04 . For Dockerfile example, you can see in this comment.

Hi @trungkienbkhn, thanks for the note. Yes, I understand that CUDA 12 is supported, but does that mean that CUDA 11 is not supported anymore? I followed the README's guidance on CUDA 11 (https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper?tab=readme-ov-file#gpu), but had the above error.

However, as mentioned in this issue (#717 (comment)), simply downgrading FW resolved the issue.

Ah, got it @Purfview. Thanks!
