A Neural Daily Bonus Short: Beyond the Token

The new Thursday segment didn't make it into today's main episode — the configuration shipped after the morning cron — so we're dropping it as a standalone bonus short instead. "Beyond the Token" focuses on the non-LLM side of the AI landscape: diffusion models, video-gen, audio synthesis, world models, and the architecture choices that don't make the LLM hype cycle. Three stories this week: Wan 2.2's Mixture-of-Experts video diffusion, Fish Audio S2-Pro's Dual-AR TTS, and the voice-cloning fraud threshold. The segment officially joins the Thursday rotation starting next week (June 18). Think of this as your preview. More like this every Thursday.
