Finally, a dev kit for designing on-device, mobile AI apps is here: Liquid AI’s LEAP
LEAP addresses those needs head-on with a local-first approach that allows small models to run directly on-device, no cloud infrastructure.
The LEAP SDK arrives at a time when many developers are seeking alternatives to cloud-only AI services due to concerns over latency, cost, privacy, and offline availability. According to Liquid AI, the SDK can be added to an iOS or Android project with just a few lines of code, and calling a local model is meant to feel as familiar as interacting with a traditional cloud API. To complement LEAP, Liquid AI also released Apollo, a free iOS app that lets developers and users interact with LEAP-compatible models in a local, offline setting.
