Geting in the support for web sdk soon, meanwhile have full support for mobile sdks : https://github.com/RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-sdks

This is pretty neat. How complex can the tasks be? I'm also impressed by the model's capability in the demo considering it's only a 3B model. Curious to see what a larger local model like gpt-oss-20b would be able to accomplish, hosted via a local API on, say, Ollama.

This looks cool and I am also impressed with the tiny Qwen models.

I wonder if there is a malicious use of this similar to how people did bitcoin mining in visitors browsers. Maybe someone will create a botnet of compute slaves to run 470B models in a distributed way ;)

Super interesting! If small models are to get as better as they make them to be, maybe eventually you can have perplexity comet like browser agents running locally
