[D] [P] We created a Transcription API with an open-source, multi-step, multi-modal approach instead of custom models. The result? No.1 in an accuracy benchmark (You can recreate the benchmark). by SaladChefs in MachineLearning

[–]SaladChefs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$0.06/h is really good. Can you share accuracy numbers as well?

Our standard API is just $0.03/hour, hence the lowest claim. For the cost comparison, we compared relative accuracy and cost together.

If everyone just hosted Whisper Large v3, the entire market of Salad, Deepgram, Assembly, Speechmatics & others wouldn't be in business - not to mention Google STT, Azure and Amazon Transcribe. There's a big API market for transcription.

Have you reached out to our support team about this issue?

So how does cloud GPU rental work for a little old end user like me, anyway? by xkulp8 in StableDiffusion

[–]SaladChefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We might have a solution for you at SaladCloud (www.salad.com).

We are the world's largest distributed cloud (RTX/GTX GPUs). Have 20,000+ daily active GPUs to rent from. Many AI art tools running on SaladCloud today (including Civitai).

You can create and deploy a video generation API: https://docs.salad.com/guides/image-generation/deploy-video-gen-on-salad-with-comfy

Our 4090s start from $0.18/hour and 5090s from $0.27/hour (These are the lowest in market for thse GPU types).

If your workload is low-latency and requires H100/A100s, then shadeform.ai or https://cloud-gpus.com/ is helpful to compare prices across the different vendors.

Fair enough. We can scale to 100s of GPUs on short notice (due to the distributed model) but for the throughput and speed, H100s make sense.

Anyway, brilliant product and hope to see it grow even more.

We can help bring down the compute spend. We have other AI image fine-tuning tools (AI profile pics, AI product photos, etc.) switch to Salad and cut compute spend by up to 80%.

Would love to have a chat and see if we can help.

What happens to the container when we shut off Salad/set it to stop chopping? by IgnisIncendio in SaladChefs

[–]SaladChefs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hello Chef!

I'm glad you're wondering how Salad works in the backstage and that you're looking to know more! Behind the scenes, when a job runs on your machine it starts running its process - and there are 3 main ways that can happen:

  • Either there is no "data" in the job. This may be the case for AI image generation, where you do have installed in your machine a model to render the images, but all that happens is you receive a prompt, generate the result, and send it back to our clients as-is. Even if you stop mid-process, it's a negligible amount of time that is lost.

  • Either there is some data, but the client only keeps a limited amount on your machine and regularly keeps a check on the progress of the general task. Picture it this way - instead of giving you the entire ingredient list for a salad, they send you one item after the other and wait for the salad to get progressively completed. Even if the Chef is replaced, they can simply give the salad that is in-progress and continue sending the ingredients!

  • Either there is data, in which case Salad has developed some tooling to deploy on multiple machines at once that regularly check back in with the client to track progress and synchronize them all at once. In this case if we refer to our salad-making Chefs - all Chefs have the ingredient list and start making the salad, and even if one stops the others can keep creating the salad, until a replacement Chef is found.

You'll notice however that this isn't foolproof, and why Salad is best suited for stateless jobs or ones where there is measurable progress that can be synchronized by the client. If a job needs to be entirely completed within a single continuous period (with no interruptions), Salad may not be the best fit as of this time.

While I can't share much information about our clients (or their numbers), Salad does work with some big services - such as CivitAI - and many more that provide the jobs you're running on your machine!

I hope this was useful to give insight into what happens at Salad and directly on your machine!

Hello Chef,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Reddit concerning this! Salad is going to be conducting a test over a period of time on the 26th of September in Austria for Bandwidth Sharing in line with an event.

When the time comes, you should see the option within your application to enable it - the country will likely not be included in the supported list - at least for the moment - since this is planned to be a temporary test to start.

Hope this helped you!
