🎉🎉🎉Officially Introduce BayesChat: A Privacy-first AI Chat Workspace on iOS - BYOK, MCP tool & Chat Presets.
Here is what it can do:
- Multi-Provider & BYOK: Connect to any model via OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible APIs, including local models
- Chat Presets: Save prompt, model, parameter, and tool as reusable presets. Switch between them with one tap to boost your workflow efficiency
- MCP: MCP integration for third-party tool calling
- Fine-tune Parameters: Shape every response with precise, flexible controls
- Live Streaming: Real-time typewriter animation rendering with LaTeX formulas and Markdowns
- Customize themes and colors: Set your theme and colors exactly the way you like
@kitledru@TheAhmadOsman Because generation got cheap and verification didn't. Most of those principles were ways to avoid writing code you'd have to read later, and only the writing part got easier.
@UnslothAI 6 GB is the desktop number. iOS kills an app long before it gets there, so 4-bit weights plus the vision encoder and KV cache is what actually has to fit.
@bnjmn_marie 0.15pp on which eval matters more than the 69%. Reasoning budgets tend to look free on short-answer benchmarks and cost you on the ones that need long chains.
@zhijianliu Lossless is the part that matters. Speculative decoding comes down to acceptance rate, and code accepts far more readily than prose, so how close you get to 3.5x depends on the workload.
@ivanfioravanti 23B active makes it sound laptop-sized, but 428B total at 4-bit is still ~214GB of weights. This one wants a very large unified memory pool, not a MacBook.
@zaidmukaddam At 2,000 decisions the standard error is about 1pp, so 64.6 vs 64.9 is a tie. The calibration gap from 0.17 to 0.06 is the result worth talking about.
BayesChat 1.1.6 is out.
Rich text streams properly now. Bold, tables and formulas fade in at the same steady pace as plain paragraphs.
Background tasks announce completion once: the Lock Screen card shows the run finished, and the notification no longer lights up the screen or sounds on top of it.
Background runs also keep their progress moving through slow tool calls, and save the whole turn if iOS suspends the app.
DeepSeek V4 tool rounds no longer stop on a reasoning handoff error.
Chinese replies render at the right weight, and formulas sit at body size in the same sans font.
Exports stay light even on a dark-mode device.
