Description
Ever wonder what happens between hitting "send" on a prompt and hearing a finished episode? Producer Hilbert Flumingtop steps out from behind the mixing desk to reveal the mid-2026 pipeline in full detail. Learn how a single generic dispatcher routes over a dozen episode formats through one code path, why DeepSeek V4 Pro writes the scripts, how three parallel GPU workers cut voice synthesis time from 36 minutes to 10, and why the slower speech model won out over the faster one. Plus: the two-layer memory system that keeps hour-long episodes coherent, the additive-only review pass that preserves jokes, and what one episode actually costs end to end.
