Indie developer harshagundal open-sourced Qwen-2.5-1B-RLCD, claiming 5x faster on-device inference for type-safe JSON workloads, with a demo running on an M4 MacBook.
The trick requires no new training: LLMs can batch-infer every key of a JSON at once and generate probabilities over a set of possible categories, enabling efficient type-safe structured output — easy to optimize further if needed. The model is on Hugging Face.
Cohere researcher suchenzang quipped about "2 years of stealth vs my 2 hours," calling it a fun demo that likely won't match the original model's performance but praising the hustle.
