African Whisper v0.2.9 - beta

This beta release is aimed at identifying potential bugs and areas for improvement.

Release Highlights:
Introduction of mixed precision computation (fp16) to `src/training/gradio_inference.py` pipeline initialization when CUDA is available in the environment.
Addition of a faster SpeechInference class for transcribing and translating audio files for the API endpoint at `src/deployment/main`, also featuring mixed precision computation (fp16).
