Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Cheers! I will take a look. Weird how hostile Lemmy is to ai - especially LocalLLaMa. Think you got brigaded.
EDIT: Holy shit dude - that's amazing. Well done!
Thanks, I really appreciate it! Not all the stations have an AI DJ btw... I should probably add some visual queue in the station browser which shows whether or not one is set. Also, some of the AI DJ actions dont trigger if there arent enough people listening to a station (like polls for example)
Yeah, I just caught the tail end of a DJ announcement on the Island Vibes station. This is a great idea...but you will get murdered by the Lemmy / Reddit "this is AI slop" hivemind. I suspect those people haven't turned on the radio in their car any time recently; I'd rather listen to this tbh
PS: submitted a request for something like ambient LoFi girl.
PPS: if you've got AI DJs...can we expect AI podcasts or short segments at some stage? Lean into the whole Three Dogs (Fallout 3) vibe.
Saw your request and songs are queued for generation! The new station is called Cloud 9 Chill FM So it supports station jingles but the intent there was just for a "youre listening to so and so station" announcements (same as in regular radio).
I'm not sure about AI podcasts though... maybe like a news station would be useful
Yes, it would be useful, I think. You could for example source something from a RSS feed to turn into a news cast - just 2-3 items - as part of the the station support Jingles. You'd have to maybe ask Claude etc for some ideas (perhaps pulling different RSS feeds to match the station? The synthwave one might pull in arstechnia or something).
I'll keep and eye out for Cloud 9 Chill.
Is there a blog or some such you use to discuss the architecture of SynapseFM? Would be curious to know more.
Yeah that's actually a tool I was already working on creating for the AI DJ. basically pulls current news info based on audience location
Do it :) It would add a lot, I think. Though it introduces some complexity on your end if you have to geo-tag canonical feeds per user, per each location, to extract from; a few set ones (technology, science, world news etc) per each station might be easier...but then have the DJ announce in the voice of whatever that IP address is from?
Dunno. You're clearly more than capable of working it out, so I look forward to seeing what you do.
OK so, I'm almost done with the tool for the AI DJ. Basically we're using searxng to search for audience locale news + using rss feeds to provide the llm with context about specific news categories (Technology for example)
Nice! Sing out (ha ha) when it's done so we can try it.
You can definitely give it a shot now, it's done at this point! Keep in mind the llm can pick and choose between the various tools to call so news may not be called out each time
Nice :) I have it on right now. Might need a touch more reverb, though that could just be the track (“Silence Between Thunder and Lightning”). Definitely in the ballpark. Cheers for that.
I had an idea for you driving home, though it may introduce scope creep.
Have you considered a hybrid station mode where the user can supply their own music library and Synapse FM intermingles it with the generated tracks? For example, maybe the user uploads a playlist manifest plus files or points Synapse at a Google Drive / Dropbox folder containing MP3s and an .m3u playlist. Then the system could:
So instead of pure AI radio, it becomes something closer to:
“your own music taste, extended infinitely”
That feels like a pretty compelling hook to me...and might actually protect your from the haters.
Set it up so tracks are either played directly, or used as “station DNA” for selection / matching / transitions. Or both.
Or (and this is my preference) you could have it so that the scheduler inserts user tracks every N songs.
You could even allow users to tip the balance, user side:
I'm handwaving away a lot here but even as a local/private beta feature for you alone, it seems like a genuinely interesting direction.
Again - scope creep / you might see it differently than I do. Still, even if you just play with it at home, try it and see if the idea works,
Just wanted to share, one journeyman to another.
It's a good project and you SHOULD post the URL here (I won't / am respecting your privacy).
Be proud of it, it's good work.
EDIT: Just caught the jingle between songs - well done! Exactly right.
