Local Qwen judges stream clips for free: a zero-token auto-clipping pipeline
TangeloOk9486 · reddit · 2026-11-10
A Reddit post breaks down ashen's stream auto-clipping setup built on a smart cost decision: pay the big model once to build the tool, then let local models run the daily work for free.
- Local CV first pass: A script (written by Claude 'fable 5') uses computer vision + ffmpeg on a Mac Studio to scan entire downloaded VODs for on-screen events — the 'YOU DIED' screen in Dark Souls, ashen's name in COD killfeeds — spending zero tokens watching hours of video.
- Local judge: First-pass clips go to qwen3.5-35b-a3b running locally at 8-bit, which checks video and transcript against three criteria: on-screen event present, swearing/yelling rising, loudness spiking. If none hit, the clip is dropped.
- Auto publishing: Survivors reach the phone via Zo Computer for approval, then Postiz sends them to TikTok drafts.
The author frames it as a cost play: calling a big model through an API at every step adds up fast, while this architecture makes daily operation essentially free.
