How much compute do you get in these containers? Could I have it run whisper on an mp3 it downloads?

That might work! You would have to figure out how to get Whisper working in there but I'm sure that's possible with a bit of creativity concerning uploading files and maybe running a build with the available C compiler.

It appears to have 4GB of RAM and 56 (!?) CPU cores https://chatgpt.com/share/6977e1f8-0f94-8006-9973-e9fab6d244...

  • Huh...

    If people are getting this for free or even as an offering with chatgpt consideirng it becomes subsidized too. Lowend providers are a little in threat with their 7$/year deals if Chatgpt provides 56 cores for free. this doesn't seem right to provide so many cores for (free??)

    Are you running this in your free account as you mention in blog post simon or in your paid account?

    • My $20/month paid account.

      I used a free account to check if the feature was available there and it tried to get me to upgrade two prompts in (just enough for me to confirm the container worked and could install packages).

    • by default containers do not limit core count, you'll get all available on the host/VM.

      these cores are shared with all the other containers, could be hundreds more
