$0 for 1,000 slow API calls
$79 for 10,000 fast API calls
To put that into perspective the 10k API calls is less than 10 minutes of 24 fps video. You should have a much higher plan or pay per request overage price.
If you want to run hours or days worth of video through an object detector - you probably want to go out and buy a gpu and machine to stick it on of your own...
I'm curious as to what the application you're thinking of where this seems like "real world usage"? (I can imagine applications like vision-controlled drones, but I'm pretty sure places like ATH Zurich have better solutions (as in "less generalised and more applicable to drone control") and in-house hardware to train and run it on.)
One application would be nudity detection for a family friendly site, lots of video would need to be checked.
The argument that you would want to run your own machine validates my point. However the same could have been said for video encoding or any other form of intense processing which all now have cloud alternatives.
Nudity detection though - I'd probably at least try doing something like "Check every 50+rand(100) frames, and only examine more carefully if you get hits on that sampling". Sure - that's "game-able" - but subliminal nudity isn't something I'd expect trolls or griefers to expend too much effort to slide past your filters...
I agree you neeed 24 FPS output but you don’t need to process all 24 frames raw as images.
But yes, no disagreement here.
$299 for 100k images
$499 for 1M images
We are adding plans for video. Since 24 FPS doesn’t always make sense. Especially from a compute perspective and data perspective because there is a huge amount of redundancy. Should see a 1/20 at the minimum on price for video.
