Adds phowhisper_small — a Vietnamese-specialized fine-tune of Whisper-Small (BSD-3-Clause), filling the gap of no Vietnamese ASR in the catalog. Same encoder/decoder architecture as whisper_small (reuses the shared HfWhisper components), so it slots into the existing Whisper export path.

AI Hub validated on Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (compile + profile + inference): encoder 70.2 ms, decoder 8.3 ms/token, 100% NPU (0 CPU fallback). Vietnamese WER 11.0% on FLEURS (vs 21.4% for generic Whisper-Small).

perf.yaml/release-assets.yaml are intentionally omitted (generated by the scorecard/release CI).

Hi Viet-Anh NGUYEN (@vietanhdev), thank you for the contribution! While we appreciate your work, at the moment we are unable to accept new models from the community directly. I unfortunately won't be able to merge it for the time being, but I'll keep the PR open.

The team is actively working on several API changes needed for us to start taking community contributions--please stay tuned for that. In the meantime, feel free to upload compiled assets to our Hugging Face community here:
