Local ai processing
with the rise of the siri application i wanted too share 2 apps i feel could seriously help many during this time of waiting for the os27 launch
solair ai
bonzai
solair is a daily assistant made too check the web youre health data from apple health and even the news with rss feeds. its simple easy too use and tells u exactly the best modles too run for youre hardware
bonzai is a more traditional ai chatbot with not many tools BUT web search AND mcp server support so u can import and even create youre own tools for this application makeing it easier than ever too customize how youre ai assistant works for you.
both combined on a system unpack alot of potential for on device ai processing and ive been useing both sense ios 18s launch each have gotten better overtime. with solair even allowing you too use any apple intelligence enabled device as a openai server. meaning u can connect youre old windows pc too youre iphone too use the iphone as a NPU in a way for youre windows pc too do on device ai processing tasks. even has the option too throttle the speed of chats slightly too not thermal throttle older devices without cooling solutions like the 17 pro model phones. both are amazing solutions ive really enjoyed overtime if u guys know of any other really cool on device ai applications that enable serious usage out of llms comment down below!!!
