I definitely think there's a lot to be done with small models dedicated to specific tasks. I've always thought the REAL value is in having large models be able to easily build small models for custom tasks (which I know is kind of a thing), but perhaps just providing the small models directly is the more accessible approach.

>accessible via one SDK for Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript

Lol well let me know when there's a Python SDK and I'll give it a try then. Obviously this isn't a deal breaker if you have a real case, but as someone who is willing to spin something up and try it out if there's a quick "pip install" command, this is getting put back on the shelf for now.

The founders and website seems to talk a lot about mobile devices and how many are being sold/shipped, that's the "unused compute power" they're targeting. So obviously mobile-first platforms and SDKs seem to be the focus first, hence those languages. Understandable, given their target, but just like you I wish there was an easier way to give it a try on a desktop computer.

Same, just wish I could afford the computer to train my own ngl
