I've loved using pgdog for the last 6 months. It's been incredibly stable. It's nifty how they've solved the LISTEN/NOTIFY on a transaction pooler problem.
They are all transcribed by multiple blinded "accent natives".
But yes, your point is valid - going to see if I can tease out the "single person accuracy".
Incroyable! Competitive (if not better) than deepgram nova-3, and much better than assembly and elevenlabs in basically all cases on our internal streaming benchmarking.
The dataset is ~100 8kHz call recordings with gnarly UK accents (which I consider to be the final boss of english language ASR). It seems like it's SOTA.
Where it does fall down seems to be the latency distribution but I'm testing against the API. Running it locally will no doubt improve that?
Company: We're the UK's fastest growing AI voice company (~30% MoM) - very deeply focused on the trades industry right now (think your friendly neighbourhood plumbing company).
We're a small but experienced team hiring 3 more to join:
As someone who’s from Brisbane but spent the last 7 years in London you’re 100% correct. Brisbane is the best city in the world. I’m excited to eventually move back.
Very familiar with BMSs but the lack of open standards and protocols has been extremely frustrating - makes me appreciate how good we have it with HTTP, etc.
Lots say they support BACnet but that’s only if they’ve been configured and the points exported, etc.
Haystack is a great step forward for labelling too but adoption seems fill with complexity :)
It's a very fun mix of hardware (for data collection), and crazy SQL queries to model energy flows between buildings, solar, batteries, etc. Considering just one building is pretty easy:
but then you add a site with a couple of buildings, solar on one of them, grid limited exports, etc modelling these flows is challenging. Like consider the case where one building got 10% of it's imported power from another building's excess solar, then calculating carbon becomes more difficult.
and once you've figured all that - then you have to figure out what makes commercial sense to do next.. install a battery, expand solar, move onto a TOU tariff, do nothing - and that's a whole other world of optimisation problems.
GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 75,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries.
Come work on new products, or gnarly scaling challenges.
