MacPaw 押注端側 AI：為何開發者不滿足於 Apple 的現有技術棧
macpaw 與 liquid ai 合作，為其 setapp 商店構建端側推理能力，為開發者提供支援離線運行的本地 ai 技術棧。此舉旨在打造隱私優先的 ai 體驗，並繞過 apple 預設模型的限制。
ukraine-based macpaw teamed with liquid ai to develop elix, a custom on-device inference engine and local memory system for its eney assistant and setapp store. this architecture prioritizes efficiency and privacy, allowing users to run agentic workflows offline without sending data to the cloud. the partnership will eventually open this local processing stack to third-party developers, alongside access to cloud models like google's, operating on a credit-based pricing model. by integrating this tech, setapp aims to become a specialized hub for ai applications that require tighter hardware integration than apple's standard local models allow.
