Field notes
Setup uses a 5.6 GB preconverted 4-bit model and a local server opened at localhost:8998; the page lists Apple Silicon with at least 16 GB memory and 6 GB disk. Calls are saved as recordings with subtitles, and two supplied personas are Jess and Maya. The implementation is described as an MLX port of PersonaPlex, with Whisper used for caller-side subtitles; the page distinguishes MIT code licensing from NVIDIA-licensed weights.
