GPU

Graphics Processing Unit

A processor specialized in parallel computing. Beyond graphics, it accelerates AI models, audio, video, and image processing, as well as large matrix computations; available VRAM is critical.

Why it matters

Performs thousands of calculations in parallel — enabling AI models, video processing, and image generation to complete in minutes instead of hours. Its usefulness is primarily determined by the amount of VRAM available.

What's missing without it

Without a GPU, local AI models run on the CPU many times slower or not at all — leaving users to pay for every cloud-based call.

When it is used

When running AI models on local hardware, video editing, and batch image processing.

How we use it

Worker GPU generates speech, transcribes audio, and runs local AI models.
