Meta open-sources a clone of Google's viral podcast maker
Meta just dropped NotebookLlama, an open-source project that recreates Google NotebookLM's viral podcast generator using its own Llama models. The pipeline turns uploaded files into dramatic dialogue scripts before piping them into open text-to-speech tools. Why it matters: The audio still sounds robotic and cuts each other off, but developers now have an open recipe to customize and upgrade.
