Indexing 370 hours of video with a 2B model costs just $10 in GPU time

Developer @vanstriendaniel used the open-source Marlin-2B model to index 1,864 public-domain films (370 hours) from the Internet Archive, generating timestamped descriptions and resulting in 23,148 searchable moments. The entire index cost about $10 in GPU time. Users can search for specific actions like "typing on a computer keyboard" and jump directly to the moment.
Visualization expert @enjalot further applied UMAP to the dataset and extracted vision latents from Marlin-2B, creating an interactive browser map for exploring the video content.
