MacPaw 联手 Liquid AI，为 SetApp 开发者提供端侧推理能力

总部位于乌克兰的应用开发商 MacPaw：https://macpaw.com/ 已与 Liquid AI：https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/liquid-ai-just-raised-250m-to-develop-a-more-efficient-type-of-ai-model/ 合作，利用本地托管的 AI 模型为其产品提供动力，并最终将该技术栈提供给开发者。该公司还正在为其 SetApp 应用商店准备 AI 应用，提供基于积分的用户计划。

MacPaw 目前正在开发其 AI 助手 Eney，该助手于去年首次亮相：https://macpaw.com/news/why-we-built-eney，现在计划构建一个本地托管版本，为此它已与 Liquid AI 合作开发一种名为 Elix 的设备端推理系统以及本地记忆系统。

MacPaw 首席执行官 Oleksandr Kosovan 表示，本地托管的 AI 模型还将使用户能够离线运行助手和自主工作流程。

值得注意的是，苹果已经向开发者提供自己的本地模型。但 Hasani 认为，Liquid AI 的模型专注于不同功能的性能。

“我们还在围绕模型构建定制化堆栈。这意味着通过用户输入，模型可以使用这些数据并进行改进。我们希望我们的模型能够适应环境，并随着时间变得更智能，”Hasani 表示。

MacPaw 计划更多关注其基于订阅的应用商店 SetApp 的 AI 应用，该商店目前拥有超过 150,000 名付费用户。

一旦与 Liquid AI 锁定了本地处理架构，MacPaw 希望将该技术提供给开发者，使他们能够在自己的应用中使用设备端推理。Kosovan 表示，这个平台还将提供对其他云模型（如 Google 提供的模型）的访问，充当开发者的一站式服务。

MacPaw 已经在为应用商店试验基于积分的定价模式，用户可以根据其拥有的积分和任务的复杂性执行一定数量的 AI 操作。

Ukraine-based app developer MacPaw：https://macpaw.com/ has partnered up with Liquid AI：https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/liquid-ai-just-raised-250m-to-develop-a-more-efficient-type-of-ai-model/ to power its products with locally hosted AI models, and eventually make the tech stack available to developers. The company is also preparing its SetApp app store for AI apps with credit-based plans for users.

MacPaw is currently working on its AI assistant Eney, which it unveiled last year：https://macpaw.com/news/why-we-built-eney, and now plans to build a locally hosted version, for which it has roped in Liquid AI to develop an on-device inference system called Elix as well as a local memory system.

MacPaw’s CEO Oleksandr Kosovan said locally hosted AI models will also give users the ability to run assistants and agentic workflows offline.

Notably, Apple already provides its own local models to developers. But Hasani maintains that Liquid AI’s models focus on performance for different capabilities.

“We are also building a customization stack around models. This means that with user input, the models can use the data and improve. We want our models to be adaptable and become more intelligent over time,” Hasani said.

MacPaw plans to focus more on AI apps for its subscription-based app store, SetApp, which has over 150,000 paying users.

Once it locks in the local processing architecture with Liquid AI, MacPaw wants to make the tech available to developers so they can use on-device inference with their apps. Kosovan said the platform will also provide access to other cloud models from companies like Google, acting as a one-stop shop for developers.

MacPaw is already experimenting with credit-based pricing for the app store, where users can perform a certain number of AI operations based on the credits they have and the complexity of the task.
