pcuenq · x · 2026-09-08
finnvoorhees launched Desert Ant Labs, a European frontier AI lab focused on opinionated on-device intelligence. It has shipped nearly 20 models running on existing devices with Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript SDKs — no tokens, limits, or cloud bills. The next Detail release replaces every cloud API call with optimized on-device models; all models are commercially usable, trained on openly licensed data, and free up to 100k monthly active devices.
