Open-Sourcing VoxCast: CPU-Only Multi-Turn Podcast Generation With Low Memory Usage

I just open-sourced VoxCast, a lightweight app for generating synthetic multi-turn podcast episodes from: a reference voice sample a persona prompt a topic prompt The core thing I think is worth sharing: it runs locally on CPU only, with relatively low memory usage. A lot of voice and speech s assume access to a GPU, which is fine for labs and hosted products but less useful for local experimentation. I wanted something that could run on inexpensive hardware, stay local, and still be good enough for fast prototyping.
