Summary
MacPaw is building a locally hosted version of its Eney assistant with Liquid AI, which will supply an on-device inference system called Elix and a local memory layer.
Liquid AI said it tailors model architectures to device hardware so AI can run locally with stronger privacy, security and offline support, while adapting over time with user input.
SetApp, MacPaw’s subscription app store with more than 150,000 paying users, is being readied for AI apps through credit-based plans tied to the number and complexity of AI operations.
Once the local stack is finalized, MacPaw plans to open it to SetApp developers and pair it with access to cloud models from companies including Google in a one-stop platform.
