Free up to 100k monthly active devices.

The fastest on-device models for the job. Add them to your app in a few lines of code, at no token cost.

Small models that each do one job very well, with one native SDK that drops them into any product in a few lines of code. Every model is free up to 100k monthly active devices per platform . No limit on how often each person runs it. Build your wildest ideas and best products, and never meter afrom desertant.com

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
