Models get commoditized.
The harness compounds.
Thanks @SarahPerezTC for the writeup.
Osaurus brings both local and cloud AI models to your Mac techcrunch.com/2026/05/15/os…

Windows users who are tired of electron bloatware should definitely try out what @SonofNun has come up with!
It’s now public! Now invite required.
Try it out and tell me what you think!
Pairs great with @NVIDIARTXSpark devices like the @surface Laptop Ultra!
There's a new version of this post

Public beta is open now. Native C#, no Electron.
Huge shoutout to @SonofNun for building the Windows port.

Here's a snippet of the @OsaurusAI iOS app that I'm currently working on. It's being built entirely in UIKit with no traces of SwiftUI for maximum performance and backward compatibility.
Excited to bring the Mac app to mobile with Day 0 support for the new iPhone Duo!
Osaurus is coming to your pocket.
Native UIKit. Day 0 on iPhone Duo.

Soon: "Local models. Your PC. Electrons you already paid for"

Building on the frontier.
Local models. Your Mac. Electrons you already paid for.
Thanks for calling local models the frontier.
Intelligence per watt is improving fast on its own curve. Soon local models will match what feels like frontier today.
When that happens, there’s an enormous opportunity: tools, infrastructure, and support for people building businesses on the electrons they already paid for.
Labs like @ornith_ , @Alibaba_Qwen , @liquidai , and @nanbeige are already pushing this forward with almost no revenue model.
We’re building the infrastructure for it. Reach out if you want to learn more.

Today, a16z Crypto is becoming a16z Frontier.
Since joining a16z in 2013, @cdixon has focused on technologies that look futuristic well before they reach the mainstream. Those themes led to investments in Oculus, Skydio, Zipline, Coinbase, Solana, and Uniswap.
Frontier expands that mandate beyond crypto to back "outer planet" founders who are building new technologies and creating markets that may take years to develop.
Chris joins @pmarca, @bhorowitz, and @eriktorenberg to discuss why crypto has become part of the broader tech landscape, why Frontier fills a hole in the firm's architecture, and why they'd rather be too early than too late.
They also get into why the gap between AI-native startups and incumbents is the widest Marc has ever seen, how AI could pull forward 20 years of frontier technology, why stablecoins may become the way AI agents pay each other, how AI is breaking the internet's business model, and why today's 18-year-olds are about to become superhumans.

The page isn’t the impressive part.
Halfway through, the shell failed. It didn’t stop or ask for help. It switched to file tools and finished the job.
2.5B active params did that.
NVIDIA spent its keynote selling AI factories.
A Mac read the whole thing and built a webpage about it.
The model found itself in the coverage.
Flint 40B. Running locally. Native Swift. No Electron.
Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SI’s first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
• Best-in-class fast local coding
• Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark
• Built from scratch in under 4 months
Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.

@OsaurusAI does the muscle, Ornith does the hustle.
🙌 Two bros took all daily grind.
Check out the amazing work from Osaurus team!!
