Shouldn't the language and model inputs be dropdowns instead of text input?

I'm going to hope/assume you're doing some sort of sanitisation on those inputs.

Additionally, wouldn't you lose the language detection that's done for no language input? (IIRC, it uses the first 30 seconds to detect language if you don't specify one)

Yeah someone submitted a PR for those to be fixed, I'm just wary about restarting the server because I haven't setup a way to be able to reboot without losing the websockets

Well those inputs should all error unless they are a valid value.

Yes if nothing is input it will automatically detect the language based on the first 30s of input

I wasn't even aware that it was on GitHub, which I suppose is an issue in itself.

Wait what. Not being able to safely restart the server sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

This was just a personal project a couple hours ago so it's not setup properly to do safe reboots and a lot of other things, I was just using it locally and now it's in in the wild, will take some time to get everything refined and professional

Isn’t this very expensive to host? Are you aware this could cost A LOT?

in another comment they state:

> I'm just running this off of a 2x RTX A6000 server on Vast.ai at the moment, about $1.30/h

whether that's a lot is a matter of perspective

users would lose the session and have to start over, not the end of the world
