Episode Details

Daniel's been dictating daily for a year and a half, and he's ready to build a dedicated home server for Whisper inference. In this episode, we break down the full bill of materials: why 16GB of VRAM is the sweet spot, why the RTX 4060 Ti beats pricier cards for this workload, and why TPUs and AMD are non-answers for a set-it-and-forget-it setup. Plus, the surprising truth about CPU requirements and network bandwidth. If you've ever thought about running your own speech-to-text server, this is the spec you need.
