I’ve been reading up on this the last couple of days because…oh, look, squirrel! This seems to me where The Big Guys are going to dominate because it comes down to a big data problem. For example, whisper (admittedly speech to text) was trained on 480,000 hours of speech data scraped from the web. The next ‘contender’ used something like 48,000 hours. Who can compete with that who doesn’t own a whole cloud?
