   Seeing the same. At a glance looks like the problem is this piece of code here:

    if model_name not in utils.MODELS_URL and not _os.path.isfile(model_name):
               raise RuntimeError(
                   f"'{model_name}' is not a valid preconverted model or a file path. \
                       Choose one of {list(utils.MODELS_URL)}"
               )

   The second part of this conditional appears to be failing. It's odd because I tried using the same absolute path with os.path.isfile in a local python shell and it works - even if you import os as _os.

   Not a huge issue anyway as you can just download the model with the predefined ones in MODELS_URL but hopefully this adds some context.

   OS details in case related:
   OS: OSX Ventura 13.0.1
   Python version: 3.10.0

   EDIT: Cache Workaround

   In the meantime, you can just populate the cache yourself with your own model.

   This library looks in one of two directories for the models based on the existence of the XDG_DATA_HOME env variable. You can put your local model into this directory and it should work as expected.

   # move your model into the cache
   cp whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.bin ~/.local/share/whispercpp # OR $XDG_DATA_HOME/whispercpp

   from whispercpp import Whisper
   
   # use the local dir with your pretrained whisper model
   whisper = Whisper.from_pretrained("base")

   if anyone still has this issue, it should be because the version on pypi is older than what's on the repo (I noticed the error message is different!)

   https://pypi.org/project/whispercpp/#files -> the source code only has

         if model_name not in utils.MODELS_URL:
               raise RuntimeError(
                   f"'{model_name}' is not a valid preconverted model. Choose one of {list(utils.MODELS_URL)}"
               )
   

   I fixed the error by installing from git

   pip install git+https://github.com/aarnphm/whispercpp.git -vv
