Did you know there is a new app on the App Store that can help you get things done with AI that lives on your device? Perspective Intelligence uses Apple's built in AI that runs Apple Intelligence to help with everyday tasks. Learn more about it at https://t.co/36GwJi7q1i

So I'm running Hermes Agent with Gemma4:12b-mlx on my machine using Ollama, and I feel like it is slower to respond than Gemma 4 26B or even 31B is when running those models with oMLX.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

@MichaelShanks I think it would have been ok if the new show was tailored for the current fanbase. I think it would have attracted new fans as the show started.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

I tried using the BF16 version of Gemma4 12B with oMLX and it does not seem to work currently. I will have to try other variants. It is also not ready for Ollama from what I can tell.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

Gemma 4 12B is on mlx-community at around 10 GB for 4bit quantization. I'm downloading the fp16 version to test on my Mac.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

@orencohen I think the show had a chance, but Amazon is to blame for this. I wish they would just let another platform run it.

[Prince Canuma @Prince_Canuma]

Already on MLX 🚀

I really like the models Microsoft shipped at Build. I just wish all of them could run on my own device. Some of us have powerful machines and we want to run unlimited AI locally, no cloud and no limits. #MSBuild

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

We will test and add this to the Mac version of Perspective Intelligence. https://t.co/4GdOSRF37d

Meet Gemma 4 12B!

A unified, encoder-free multimodal model designed to bring high-performance intelligence directly to your laptop, and released under an Apache 2.0 license.

Bridging the gap between edge efficiency and advanced reasoning. Here is what’s new with Gemma 4 12B: 👇

@CarlosBBuild I've thought about getting an older iPhone for testing our apps, but I'm not sure how old of a phone I'd like to support for on device AI.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

@louisagareiss I always have my laptop and other electronics in a backpack that I carry on, but sometimes it still says something is left behind, so I always just check to make sure everything is still there.

It is TIME! It is time for companies to be led by creatives and not by people who think they know how to make money. I bet that gaming companies and tv providers would actually make much more money if they were led by creative influences instead of people who make decisions based on how much money they think can be made.

If you can't tell, I am really annoyed by the Stargate cancelation.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

You know, I try not to think badly of anyone, but the way TV and streaming executives handle things is the worst in nearly every business, and I think that these places should be ran by people who care about the content they create and not how much money they can generate.

I upgraded my Amazon Prime subscription because I was really excited about a new Stargate show. I told everyone I knew that we were getting a new show in the series, and now that isn't happening.

I will get caught up on the shows that I want to see this month, and Prime video will be losing a customer because of how this was handled.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

@FloWritesCode Absolutely!

NATIVE HOMEBREW ON WINDOWS WTF - genuinely this makes me so happy! #MSBuild

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

@AiroPrompts It depends on if AI will still be mainly cloud based or if we go on device based. My AI app is $6 because it is on device and I only charge for the tools.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

Perspective e Intelligence is becoming more and more agentic each version. The daily brief is amazing!

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

What new APIs are you hoping to see next week at #WWDC26?

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

Ok, the first version of the Perspective Intelligence Daily brief is amazing! It is the best on device AI daily briefing I've ever seen! Again, I can't wait for everyone to try it out this week.

[Michael Doise @mikedoise]

I published a new release of afm-server yesterday. This allows you to use Apple Foundation Models with an OpenAI compatible server. This latest version supports the use of tools, which will be enhanced with macOS 27. Check out the repo at https://t.co/pk2Bba9G4w
