   Kapitsa: open-source Apple Silicon optimized Metal engine built for Qwen and Nemotron. See benchmarks of Qwen 27B, Nemotron + 8 other models on an M1 Pro (16GB), M4 Pro (48GB) and M5 Max (128GB)
   Kapitsa runs only two model families: Qwen (3.5 4B, 3.8 27B, 3.6 35B-A3B, and 3.8 Flash-Next on 128 GB Macs) and NVIDIA Nemotron (3.5 Lightning, Bolt and Super-VL, plus Dory 4B (this is new, we didnt test Dory too much yet). focusing on only these models allows us customize the Metal kernels for each one on Apple Silicon

   Otaku — an LLM frontend for creative writing
   I understand this kind of product may not be exactly right for this subreddit, but I still think it deserves some attention, as it's an LLM frontend for local engines in the first place, and can be used for general-purpose chats with LLMs once lore extraction is disabled in the settings.
