Both AWS and Mistral prices above are per minute of input audio.
If Voxtral can process rapid speech as well as it claims to, an obvious cost optimization would be to speed up normal laconic speech to the maximum speed the model can handle accurately.
Curiositry commented on Ask HN: Cheap laptop for Linux without GUI (for writing) · Posted by u/locusofself
I haven’t actually tried step three yet, but:
1. Kobo ereaders are dirt cheap at thrift stores (and run Linux)
2. KOreader is simple to install (I have done this)
3. KOReader has a text editor + terminal built in, and has a setting to switch to USB-OTG mode, which should allow you to plug in a USB-C hub, and a mechanical keyboard.
Boom! Internet connected e-ink writing tablet with excellent battery life, and the best keyboard you have, for ~$5-100.
