Closed-source AI hate is understandable, but local AI has nothing that should concern AI haters

Let’s face it, AI is forbidden to be praised or used in pretty much any online community outside of AI-focused sites without mass anger and vitriol in said communities. the same old strawman takes and insults show up pretty much every time someone posts an ai-generated image/video on other subreddits. They always say that AI …

ParaRNN: Large-Scale Nonlinear RNNs, Trainable in Parallel

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are naturally suited to efficient inference, requiring far less memory and compute than attention-based architectures, but the sequential nature of their computation has historically made it impractical to scale up RNNs to billions of parameters. A new advancement from Apple researchers makes RNN training dramatically more efficient — enabling large-scale training …

Cost-effective multilingual audio transcription at scale with Parakeet-TDT and AWS Batch

Many organizations are archiving large media libraries, analyzing contact center recordings, preparing training data for AI, or processing on-demand video for subtitles. When data volumes grow significantly, managed automatic speech recognition (ASR) service costs can quickly become the primary constraint on scalability. To address this cost-scalability challenge, we use the NVIDIA Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3 model, deployed through …
