## POWER VSX Intrinsics
`whisper.cpp` supports POWER architectures and includes code which
significantly speeds operation on Linux running on POWER9/10, making it
capable of faster-than-realtime transcription on underclocked Raptor
Talos II. Ensure you have a BLAS package installed, and replace the
standard cmake setup with:
```bash
# build with GGML_BLAS defined
cmake -B build -DGGML_BLAS=1
cmake --build build --config Release
./build/bin/whisper-cli [ .. etc .. ]
## Quantization
`whisper.cpp` supports integer quantization of the Whisper `ggml` models.
