A Hugging Face release, perplexity-ai/pplx-decider-flash-v1.2, lets you run a local "decider" model on a Mac with no API key and zero cost, useful for lightweight routing/decision tasks.
The config's chat template supports image and video inputs (Qwen-style vision tokens), indicating a small multimodal model well suited to on-device deployment.
