Question on: gpt-3.5-mini and gpt-4o-mini #8992

Closed marcello-pietrobon closed 1 week ago

marcello-pietrobon commented 1 week ago

I have memory that in some older version of SubtitleEdit it was possible to transcribe a video by using 'gpt-3.5-mini' model for free without inserting any API key, and without having to connect to internet either.

Now in the current version of SE, I can see 'gpt-3.5-mini' model only in the Auto-translate utility, and a key is asked in there.

Do I remember correctly that, it was possible in the past to transcribe a video with 'gpt-3.5-mini' model without any key?

If so, is it possible somehow to transcribe a video with a 'gpt-4o-mini' model without any key?

If I'm confusing myself can you help me clarify?

Thank you.

Sorry, that has never been possible. You can get a free API key with limited quota.

You can run Ollama with e.g. llama 3.2 for free.

Thank you for answering me.

After your reply I started wondering why Ollama is used only for translation and not for transcription. but reading around a bit it seems like that for transcription Whisper outperforms Llama, so, if that is true, I'm happy with how things are on this front.
