I am trying to use Whisper Model for Audio classification.  
**But I couldn’t import WhisperForAudioClassification.**

* * *

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)  
 in \<cell line: 1\>()  
**----\> 1 from transformers import AutoConfig, WhisperForAudioClassification**  
2 config = AutoConfig.from\_pretrained(“openai/whisper-base”)

ImportError: cannot import name ‘WhisperForAudioClassification’ from ‘transformers’ (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/transformers/ **init**.py)

NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can  
manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.
