An Nvidia 3090 GPU can run open ai's whisper at 17x realtime[0]. they're not exactly cheap (~$500?), but they're cheap enough that running the transcription end at home is quite feasible. And, it includes translation, so you don't have to do it in English. Searching all of a downloaded copy of Wikipedia wouldn't be that computationally expensive either if the assistant has hot words it picks up to look up.

Could just load up a pcie card full of them if necessary. A local home AI would be such a boon to people, not just the average person but the elderly as well, combined with a refined GPT etc it could conversationally respond to requests rather than most assistants' current request->response "I am a robot" scheme.

It's sad that we have the technology to do this already but haven't.
