Modal.com processing backend?

Open DaniruKun opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the feature you'd like to request

It would be great if you could choose which "back end" to use for processing - at the moment it seems it relies on the host to have a dGPU.

However, cloud GPU platforms like Modal allow to massively speed up the transcription process by spinning up hundreds of containers in parallel.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like https://github.com/modal-labs/modal-examples/tree/26c911ba880a1311e748c6b01f911d065aed4cc4/06_gpu_and_ml/whisper_pod_transcriber , where the API facade remains the same, but the work queue chunks the big audio files, and gives that to Modal containers to process.

@auduny is this something you could look at?

That's really not a use case for us atm, but feel free to open a PR with this feature.
