The reason why is “669 GB” is the total raw footage size when I'm doing the video processing, I downscaled each frame to 720p to make the video processing much faster and I don't need full original quality in order to get accurate results (as far as I know and experiment with).

They were having availability issues with GPUs (of course) but especially their UI where you'd customise a template only to try to start a pod, the GPU be unavailable and the UI reset forcing you to make the changes all over again.
But they have fixed that since, now starting a pod is more from a live page where as GPU availability status changes it updates in realtime/if your deploy fails you just try again - your customised env vars etc are still there.
Plus they also addressed the GPU availability problem as something they're working to fix and it's understandable seeing as nobody can get their hands on GPUs atm.

I was surprised to learn that the
M1 Max CPU is an ARM/SoC, comparable to an 11th gen Intel i9
Do I have it right? Would Windows ARM performance be similar for those cpu?
It's also a bit apples (heh) to oranges for a handful of reasons, but most impactful
- "unified" ram makes all the system ram available as VRAM
- dedicated ai coaccelerator thingy
Both of these reasons allow the apple silicon chips to crush conventional cpus in these kind of AI model workload stuffs
No idea about what the windows arm stuff is capable of. I know they use Qualcomm snapdragon chips though.

“Comparable” is maybe true if we are talking about single core performance, but for memory bandwidth, the M1 Max is about 8 times faster. Wider bus, lower latency, not even close.

Rohansi 1 days ago [-]
I don't disagree with your conclusion but the comparison of max bandwidth between the two SoCs is not enough. Neither of them will use all of that bandwidth doing AI work because the GPU will be compute limited. That's why dedicated GPUs perform so significantly better without having significantly higher bandwidth.
voidmain0001 20 hours ago [-]
The question I answered was "Would Windows ARM performance be similar for those cpu?" and the answer is, no, because the RAM bandwidth for ARM SoC computers for Windows, primarily Snapdragon X1E and X2E is half to quarter that of the M1 Max.

Same thing applies. Neither CPU would be able to fully saturate the available memory bandwidth so comparing by bandwidth alone is not accurate.

You're welcome. As of now, the project narrow down your options instead of watching 3-4 videos (5 min each, as an example), you can watch 3 clips from them instead (1s to 2.5s each). It gives you only the video moments that you need to watch for review instead of watching the full videos.
LeonardoTolstoy 1 days ago [-]
What models did you use for the stages? I see Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct mentioned as an advanced option, so I assume maybe Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct by default (which is what I also use for a lot of stuff, it is incredibly good at "clean" OCR, but as you maybe indicate not the best at "describing a scene").
EDITED: I didn't realize Whisper was a local model. I never tried transcription before, so I had always figured it was a pay model by OpenAI. I'll have to check it out (although the runtime listed here is a bit daunting).
For that project I'll say I don't see much degradation in embedding quality at much much worse quality than 720p (all the way down to 240p), which speeds things up considerably. Although I don't really do face or object detection, just scene embeddings. To me any process whereby it would take longer to process the video than watch it is probably a no go in general. Obviously a challenge for local-first analysis.

Thank you! I'm using RAG, I have every video scene indexed individually in the vector database. When I'm asking the agent, it'll use an Ollama model to understand the request, use the available search tool (searching using transcription text, faces, visual, audio or combined) something like when you use Claude or Chat GPT it'll use the web search tool to find you info online. Then, I can filter out video scenes using the Ollama to better present accurate and unique video scene, then send those video results to Davinci Resolve using their API to create a video timeline using those video clips

Yeah, uhm... ok :)
If anyone else has a similar problem, the real solution is as follows:
1. When recording, if you witness an interesting moment worth saving later, press the power button — this will mark the current moment in the video as a chapter.
2. Find the chapters later when editing and cut them into clips.
3. You're done :)
This has two main benefits over the insanity above:
1. It's trivially simple instead of insanely complex and inefficient.
2. It will reliably catch all the stuff you find interesting, since you're the one doing the marking.
The downsides:
1. Doesn't work retroactively.
2. It may miss interesting stuff if you miss it at the time as well.
3. Only works for this use case.
4. Nerds won't salivate over your usage of cutting edge tech.

Yeah, uhm... ok :)
If anyone else has a similar problem, the real solution is as follows:
1. When recording, if you witness an interesting moment worth saving later, press the power button — this will mark the current moment in the video as a chapter.
2. Find the chapters later when editing and cut them into clips.
3. You're done :)
This has two main benefits over the insanity above:
1. It's trivially simple instead of insanely complex and inefficient.
2. It will reliably catch all the stuff you find interesting, since you're the one doing the marking.
The downsides:
1. Doesn't work retroactively.
2. It may miss interesting stuff if you miss it at the time as well.
3. Only works for this use case.
4. Nerds won't salivate over your usage of cutting edge tech.
Her client was recording while committing the abhorrent crime. The criminal would otherwise have got off.
From my perspective, the GoPro camera produced a good outcome. Still, one has wonder why anyone to record their criminal actions.
She would rather have done corporate law but did not have the academic credentials or the networks needed for a job at the likes of Latham Watkins or White and Case.
Still it is good for society that criminals get the worst lawyers to defend them.
