This blog post explains how to deploy a custom inference handler on Hugging Face Inference Endpoints that combines Whisper for ASR, a Pyannote model for diarization, and an assistant model for speculative decoding, with code examples and configuration details.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/asr-diarization:

> We'll solve this challenge using a custom inference handler, which will implement the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Diarization pipeline on Inference Endpoints, as well as supporting speculative decoding.
