Current cloud-based models face high latency, privacy concerns, and reliance on constant connectivity. Developers also struggle with high costs for personalization (e.g., $100M per year for 1M MAU) which is the most crucial pain point now and a core of our GTM. There’s no existing developer-friendly solution for on-device mobile AI, fine-tuning, and management. Our vision involves expanding from a robust SDK to include a developer console for model management, benchmarks, and fine-tuning.
