Video compression and speech-to-text transcription typically demand expensive cloud APIs that compromise privacy and incur massive egress and model inference bills.

Engineered an edge media engine pairing a Rust backend (GlideAPI) with an automated multithreaded FFmpeg pipeline and an embedded OpenAI Whisper Large-v3 quantization engine running entirely on local CPU/GPU hardware.

GlideAPI Rust server streaming raw audio and video buffers directly through FFmpeg sub-processes and local Whisper neural network pipelines, managed by Next.js 16 and SQLite persistence.

Threaded FFmpeg streaming pipeline coupled with local OpenAI Whisper Large-v3 neural transcription on raw audio memory buffers; zero external network calls.

Rust memory safety and GlideAPI streaming pipelines ensure zero buffer corruption when multiplexing high-bitrate video streams and large audio tensors.

High-throughput media compression and speech-to-text transcription with complete data privacy and zero per-minute cloud API fees.

Self-hosted media workflow and transcription workstation for creators and privacy-first enterprises.
