## Description

A self-hosted podcast processing server that eliminates advertisements before episodes reach listeners. Episodes get transcribed using faster-whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet models locally, then an AI model identifies ad segments for removal. The system learns from corrections to recognize repeat sponsors efficiently. Users can integrate Anthropic Claude, Ollama, OpenRouter, System One, or any compatible OpenAI endpoint. Modified feeds output as re-cut RSS with versioned audio files, replacement sounds where cuts occur, loudness normalization, and lossless MP3 streaming when available.
