What do you use to run it locally? If there was something that could use speech to text reliably to be able to use a open source option, I consider switching.

FWIW speech to text works really well on Apple stuff.
I’m not exactly sure what info you’re looking but: my gaming PC is headless and sits in a closet. I run ollama on that and I connect to it using a client called “ChatBox”. It’s got a gtx 3060 which fits the whole model, so it’s reasonably fast. I’ve tried the 32b model and it does work but slowly.
Honestly, ollama was so easy to setup, if you have any experience with computers I recommend giving it a shot.

Yeah, I think the Apple speech to text is pretty decent, but I think on ChatGPT they use the whisper API to return the text and it just seems to be a lot more reliable, especially when it comes to understanding random words in context
How much VRAM do you have on the 3060 to be able to fit the whole thing on the GPU?

True. Honestly apples software is just getting worse by the day. It’s sad.
It’s a version with 12gb of vram. I use it to game though. If you want a real GPU for this, I hear the Tesla P40 is the best.
