Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Nvidia Speech and Translation AI Models Set Records for Speed and Accuracy
I've been using WhisperDesktop ( https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper ) with great success on a 3090 for fast & accurate transcription of often poor quality euro-english hours long multispeaker audio files. If there's an easy way to compare I'm certainly going to give this a try.

AMD's CDNA 3 Compute Architecture
Why would you want OpenCL? Pretty sure D3D11 compute shaders gonna be adequate for a Torch backend, and they even work on Linux with Wine: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper/issues/42 Native Vulkan compute shaders would be even better.
Why would you want unified address space? At least in my experience, it’s often too slow to be useful. DMA transfers (CopyResource in D3D11, copy command queue in D3D12, transfer queue in VK) are implemented by dedicated hardware inside GPUs, and are way more efficient.

I had fun with both of these. They will both do realtime transcription. Bit you will have to download the training data sets…

Why Nvidia Keeps Winning: The Rise of an AI Giant
Gamers don’t care about FP64 performance, and it seems nVidia is using that for market segmentation. The FP64 performance for RTX 4090 is 1.142 TFlops, for RTX 3090 Ti 0.524 TFlops. AMD doesn’t do that, FP64 performance is consistently better there, and have been this way for quite a few years. For example, the figure for 3090 Ti (a $2000 card from 2022) is similar to Radeon RX Vega 56, a $400 card from 2017 which can do 0.518 TFlops.
And another thing: nVidia forbids usage of GeForce cards in data centers, while AMD allows that. I don’t know how specifically they define datacenter, whether it’s enforceable, or whether it’s tested in courts of various jurisdictions. I just don’t want to find out answers to these questions at the legal expenses of my employer. I believe they would prefer to not cut corners like that.
I think nVidia only beats AMD due to the ecosystem: for GPGPU that’s CUDA (and especially the included first-party libraries like BLAS, FFT, DNN and others), also due to the support in popular libraries like TensorFlow. However, it’s not that hard to ignore the ecosystem, and instead write some compute shaders in HLSL. Here’s a non-trivial open-source project unrelated to CAE, where I managed to do just that with decent results: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper That software even works on Linux, probably due to Valve’s work on DXVK 2.0 (a compatibility layer which implements D3D11 on top of Vulkan).

Ask HN: What is your recommended speech to text/audio transcription tool?
Currently, I use a GUI for Whisper AI (https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper) to upload MP3s of interviews to get text transcripts. However, I'm hoping to find another tool that would recognize and split out the text per speaker.
Does such a thing exist?

Ask HN: Any recommendations for cheap, high-quality transcription software
I just used Whisper over the weekend to transcribe 5 hours of meeting, worked nicely and it can be run on a single GPU locally. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
There are a few wrappers available with GUI like https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper
- Voice recognition software for German
- Const-me/Whisper: High-performance GPGPU inference of OpenAI's Whisper automatic speech recognition (ASR) model
- I built a massive search engine to find video clips by spoken text

Show HN: I created automatic subtitling app to boost short videos
whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.

LLMs on your local Computer (Part 1)
The ggml library is one of the first library for local LLM interference. It’s a pure C library that converts models to run on several devices, including desktops, laptops, and even mobile device - and therefore, it can also be considered as a tinkering tool, trying new optimizations, that will then be incorporated into other downstream projects. This tool is at the heart of several other projects, powering LLM interference on desktop or even mobile phones. Subprojects for running specific LLMs or LLM families exists, such as whisper.cpp.

Voxos.ai – An Open-Source Desktop Voice Assistant
I'm not sure if it is _fully_ openai compatible, but whispercpp has a server bundled that says it is "OAI-like": https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...
I don't have any direct experience with it... I've only played around with whisper locally, using scripts.

Jarvis: A Voice Virtual Assistant in Python (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram)
unless i'm misunderstanding `whisper.cpp` seems to support streaming & the repository includes a native example[0] and a WASM example[1] with a demo site[2].

I've open sourced my Flutter plugin to run on-device LLMs on any platform. TestFlight builds available now.
Usage 1: Good to transcribe audio. An example use case could be to summarize YouTube videos or long courses. Usage 2: You talk with voice to your AI that responds with text (later with audio too). - https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Whisper C++ not working for me. Anyone else?
Has anyone played around with Whisper C++ for swift? I'm hitting a snag even on the demo. I've downloaded the github repo and everything matches up with this video [ https://youtu.be/b10OHCDHDQ4 ] but when he hits the transcribe button, it actually prints out the captioning. When I do it, it skips that part and just says "Done...". But it, does everything else - plays the audio, says it's transcribing.. just doesn't show me the transcription: and it's not in the debug window either. But the demo isn't throwing any errors, and I haven't messed with the code really so this is their example. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
