Research direction
Start with /app/transcriber_app.py and the faster_whisper/transcribe.py call to ctranslate2.models.Whisper shown in the traceback. Check how the official installation guide builds or installs CTranslate2 on aarch64 and whether CUDA support is expected. Done means the reported configuration can initialize WhisperModel without the CUDA-support error.
