On-demand audio transcription is an often-requested service without many good options on the market.
Using Hugging Face Spaces with Gradio SDK and the OpenAI Whisper model, I've put together a simple interface that supports the transcription and summarisation of audio files up to five minutes in length, completely open source and running on CPU upgrade. The cool thing is that it's built without a dedicated inference endpoint, completely on public infrastructure.
Explain like i'm 5 the last take from @thomwolf on X about Dario's essay on DeepSeek:
—› Open-source AI is like a big cookbook that everyone can read and improve. Instead of a few chefs keeping their recipes secret, anyone can cook, test, and invent new things.
If only one company controls AI, everything stops if they have a problem—like when the internet goes down. With open-source, many people can help, making sure it keeps running smoothly.
AI isn’t just a race between two countries; it’s a team effort around the world. By sharing, we move faster and create safer technology for everyone. — 🤗
