A user tested three AI models—Qwen3.5 9b, Gemma 4 12b, and Bonsai 27b—on a GTX 1080 Ti GPU to assess their performance for local processing of long podcasts. The goal was to create a pipeline for generating transcripts, identifying key segments, and producing short video clips without relying on cloud services. The user conducted tests focusing on long context capabilities and reasoning tasks, comparing performance with and without deliberation, and found the results to be unexpected. AI
