Voilib: Time to say goodbye

Voilib permanently shut down on December 14th, 2024.

The decision wasn’t easy, but maintaining a project like this without funding is challenging. While models like Whisper have revolutionized transcription, processing countless hours of audio remains a complex task. Additionally, managing large collections of embeddings requires fine-tuning the retrieval system—something I currently don’t have the time to tackle.

That said, Voilib is Open Source, so anyone can set up their own instance with ease. I plan to release updates soon to simplify installation and enhance its robustness. And, of course, the project is open for external contributions.
