Quick Comparison
| Provider | Privacy | Quality | Cost | Speed | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini | Cloud (BYO key) | Excellent | Pay-per-use | Fast (2 LLM calls) | API key |
| Local Models | Fully private | Good | Free | Slower (33+ calls) | Ollama/LM Studio |
| ChatGPT/Claude | Cloud | Best | Subscription | Medium (4-6 calls) | Paid subscription |
Processing Efficiency
The number of LLM calls affects both speed and cost:- Gemini: 2 LLM calls per batch (video upload + transcribe → generate cards)
- ChatGPT/Claude: 4-6 LLM calls per batch (extract frames → batch describe → merge → cards)
- Local Models: 33+ LLM calls per batch (30 frame descriptions + merge + title + merge check + merge cards)
Gemini’s native video understanding makes it the most efficient option. Local models require describing each frame individually, resulting in more API calls and slower processing.
