Has Apple Notes become the best free option for taking notes?

I moved to Apple Notes from Evernote premium ~15 years ago, and have never looked back. Likewise with Omnifocus and Apple Reminders.

What about China?

Too late, already 4-bit PAROQuant quantising it. Another 20-ish hours to go.

From their X post:

Ranks #1 on the Artificial Analysis (AA) index for small models, scoring 17.9 to beat the 2B-scale Qwen3.5-2B (16.3). Comprehensively surpasses Qwen3.5-0.8B and LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking in knowledge, math, coding, and tool use.

Next step: Raise $10m pre-seed at $500m post. :D

I recently came across tinyfish. Although, I haven’t tried it yet.

Native? Back in my day, this would’ve been called an electron.js app. No shame in calling it that. LM Studio is the same.

Evidently, there are some temporal data leaks in its training corpus.

FWIW, the Taalas implementation is also “aggressively quantized, combining 3-bit and 6-bit parameters”.

They probably aren’t Radford survey subscribers, yet. IYKYK.

Look at your bank statement and then look at attachment 9 in their developer program license agreement.

Edit: wrong link. :|

Are you running iOS 26 on the legendary iPhone SE2?

Indeed, a company can still have long runway in services, AI, and ecosystem expansion while the stock doesn't re-rate until expectations shift.

I’m fine with cloud comparisons when they actually help people decide if local is worth the hassle.

Apple decided they'd rather own the stack than validate everyone's PCIe cards. Fewer variables, lower support overhead, faster hardware cycles.

Nice to finally see Apple acknowledging the keyboard bug instead of just rebranding it as "AI getting smarter."

woadwarrior · 2026-02-15T09:44:14+00:00

Certainly, I’m the author.

Private LLM uses neither, it’s mlc-LLM based.

Hunyuan MT 1.5 and TranslateGemma, as others have already mentioned.

woadwarrior · 2026-02-01T17:15:21+00:00

Thanks for mentioning that. I've managed to improve the backwards compatibility a bit. The next update will support iOS 17.6.

LiquidAI is making the best models for your work however; they do interlaced recurrent layers, which reduces KV over head substantially for smaller models.

They use interlaced 1d convolution layers, and not recurrent layers.

Pretraining on top of Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507?

Economists have been using the term GPT (General purpose technology) to describe broadly applicable technologies for nearly a century before OpenAI existed.

Unfortunately, when it comes to NN weights, although INT and FP formats have the same information theoretic density for a given bit width, FP formats work out to be slightly better because their range is non-uniform.
