Running a fully local AI podcast station with Qwen
sysadmin420 · reddit · 2026-08-18
An author shared a project running a podcast and YouTube/Spotify channel entirely on local models.
- Core Model: Writing is handled by qwen2.5-72b (MoE, 3B active params) on Ollama (RTX 3090). It is twice as fast and hallucinates less than a dense 35B model.
- Vision: qwen2-vl parses image-only posts from Truth Social.
- Audio: Voices are cloned using F5-TTS.
- Pipeline: Monitors news, stocks, crypto, and social media, generating scripts based on market vs. statement analysis.
The author highlighted hallucination control strategies: a checker discards entire shows if numbers are invented; unverified figures are replaced with placeholders rather than guesses. Hardware is AMD 5950X + 3090.
