This feels increasingly true.

A lot of useful AI work is shifting from “knowing more” to “working with more context”, files, recordings, repos, screenshots, browsing history, etc.

Once that happens, memory and orchestration start mattering much more than raw model size.

Yeah, we've recently made it public. You can check it out here: https://clipto.com

Be aware that it is still a beast that sucks in a lot of memory.

Oh, one more thing ;) remember to keep your Mac plugged in...

Actually you can do way more things than that. We have optimized it to process 2TB of high def videos on a M5 MBP in under 24 hours, including everything such as speech understanding, face recog, LLM and VLM. Super fun.
