| So I came across recently there's a I didn't realize that there's already the first class of sensor processing units that are available at a consumer price point and in a consumer form factor. I'm referring to the Google Coral series for about $60 etc. They're most popular for computer vision workflows. | |
| I came across them looking at motion detection for IP cameras, and what I'm unclear about, I'm not sure about, is to what extent, because they're so small and relatively cheap, they actually going to make, let's say you had a computer that wasn't really very well equipped for running stuff with AI. Let's just say a very basic GPU. If running one of these or doing the more conventional upgrade of putting in a better GPU, would you expect something significant from this small addition? | |
| It seems to me that it's doubtful that it would really bring that much more inference versus a more traditional hardware upgrade. But the other question that I have is for speech to text, which is something that I'm looking at for a long time. I know that Google's Pixel phones for on-device STT are considered the best in class. | |
| So from a hardware standpoint, is there anything like, why is it, if you wanted to get something, if the Coral is an example of something that you can achieve big things for relatively cheap by focusing on the right hardware for the task, is there anything comparable for speech to text? |
