We just released QVAC TranscribePsy, a speech-to-text model small enough to run inside a phone app. It covers 25 European languages on a laptop and 8 on a phone, and on an iPhone 17 Pro Max's Neural Engine the 8-language build transcribes a 10-minute recording in 1.65 seconds. Glasses, robots and phones are moving to voice, and each of them first has to write down what you said. Today that step mostly happens on a server. TranscribePsy does it on the phone or laptop, so dictation and meeting notes keep working with no signal, and a private conversation can be transcribed without the recording ever leaving the room. Run it on our qvac-fabric-speech.cpp's parakeet engine, which optimizes for efficient execution and delivers the highest performance. Get the models:

QVAC SDK 0.15.0 is live. This release adds multiple prompts batching, brings a native AMD GPU backend to the stack, moves more vision encoders onto mobile GPUs, and adds a second local coding-agent integration. Main highlights: - Prompt batching for the LLM addon. Batch multiple prompts into one job and process them concurrently, with each answer returned the moment its generation finishes. - Native AMD GPU backend. A first-class HIP/ROCm backend in @qvac/vla-ggml, auto-selected over Vulkan with clean fallback when ROCm is absent. - A second local coding agent. OpenClaw joins OpenCode for local, cloud-free agent workflows. AGENTS - OpenCode plugin update (@qvac/opencode-plugin). Aligned with the current SDK, CLI, and AI SDK provider packages. A fresh install runs OpenCode against managed local QVAC models out of the box, from the default qvac/qwen3.5-9b, with no manual qvac serve setup. - OpenClaw plugin (@qvac/openclaw-plugin). A second coding-agent integration alongside OpenCode. A fresh setup installs the plugin, creates a local qvac provider through onboarding, and runs a QVAC model through OpenClaw🦞's local service path. LANGUAGE MODELS - Prompt batching (LLM addon). Batch multiple prompts in one job and run them concurrently, each answer returns the moment its generation finishes, no waiting on the others. - Reasoning-context trimming on hybrid + recurrent models (@qvac/llm-llamacpp). remove_thinking_from_context now works beyond pure-attention models. Same JS API, no throw. VOICE AND SPEECH - Transcription (transcription-parakeet 0.9.0). More robust CPU fallback on GPU failure and a faster Vulkan backend on Pixel 9. - Text-to-speech features (tts-ggml 0.4.0). Adds LavaSR for noise removal and adjustable output frequency up to 48 kHz, plus Japanese via Chatterbox. - Text-to-speech fixes (tts-ggml 0.4.1). CPU fallback on GPU failure, a q8_0 KV crash fix on Metal with Chatterbox. VISION - Qwen3.5 vision encoder on GPU (Android). Image encoder moves onto the phone GPU, with a smarter tile-grid preprocessor and default image-token caps, for flagship Android: Vulkan on Mali (Pixel 9 Pro) and OpenCL on Adreno 830 (Galaxy S25). - Gemma-4 vision encoder on GPU (Android). Vision encoder runs on the phone GPU instead of CPU, same flagship Android targets. PLATFORM AND PERFORMANCE - AMD GPU backend (@qvac/vla-ggml). Native HIP/ROCm backend, auto-selected over Vulkan with clean fallback when ROCm is absent (Linux x64 only). Comes with ~23% faster than Vulkan, ~14% faster than PyTorch-ROCm, parity preserved. Unified code style. A cleaner, more consistent, easier-to-contribute codebase. Let's build. npm install @qvac/sdk

QVAC SDK 0.14.0 is live. This release makes the on-device stack faster on mobile, ships the developer-agent path, and takes local text-to-speech to 31 languages. Main highlights: - OpenCode and OpenClaw. The first official OpenCode plugin, plus a maintained OpenClaw compatibility path, both built on managed mode and qvac serve. Point a coding agent at a local model with far less setup and far fewer surprises. - Brain-computer interface transcription, on the SDK. Take recorded neural signal data and decode it into text, fully on-device, no cloud. Stream it in chunks through a simple API. In 0.14 it runs GPU-accelerated on iOS. - Text to Speech in 31 languages with our Supertonic3 upgrade. VOICE AND SPEECH - Supertonic3 multilingual TTS, 5 languages to 31. - Chatterbox and Supertonic now run on the Android GPU, with lower memory use (especially on iOS), quantized s3gen Chatterbox support, and a fix for Chatterbox occasionally emitting random speech. - Whisper transcription now runs on the iOS GPU. Parakeet runs on the Android GPU, with steadier real-time streaming. VISION AND OCR - VLM multi-tile batching: high-resolution Pan and Scan images are encoded in one pass instead of tile by tile, for faster vision throughput. - OCR on ggml (EasyOCR and DocTR) reaches full speed parity with the onnx path, across Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan. PLATFORM AND RELIABILITY - Dynamic compute backends on Linux: one build picks the right backend at runtime, and opens the door to ROCm and CUDA support without per-backend builds. - Thinking tokens are kept out of the model context, so reasoning no longer fills the KV cache. SDK 0.14.0 is now leaner and faster to start. Let’s build.

QVAC SDK 0.13.0 is live, and this version brings a lot of exciting updates! Local AI now plugs into your coding agent, ships as a desktop app in one command, and runs even more models. Highlights: NEW INTEGRATIONS - OpenCode and coding agents: the new @qvac/ai-sdk-provider makes QVAC a local provider. Less setup, same-model requests queue cleanly, and managed mode starts and supervises qvac serve for you. - Broader OpenAI-compatible API, validated across supported flows so covered capabilities stay consistent and testable. - Turn your QVAC project into a real desktop app for Mac, Windows, or Linux with a single command. The new Electron plugin handles the packaging and keeps the app small by including only what it needs. NEW MODELS - New pi0.5 model support - run a vision-language "robot brain" on a single ordinary graphics card, at full accuracy. - Image-to-video, fully local, via the Wan2.1 model in the Diffusion addon. - New BCI add-on: brain-computer interface transcription, fully local. Decode recorded neural signals into text on-device via the Whisper.cpp-based BCI model. IMPROVEMENTS - Whisper GPU transcription on Android, auto-picking the best backend (OpenCL on Adreno 700+, Vulkan elsewhere), unified on one ggml engine. - Parakeet steadier on mobile, with real end-of-utterance detection for streaming. - Supertonic TTS now runs full GPU across Metal, Vulkan, and OpenCL, with native streaming.

You probably know OpenClaw🦞, one of the fastest-growing open-source projects around. An OpenClaw harness lets you build, code, analyze, and take real control of your machine. But the more access an agent has to your machine, the more it matters where your data goes & who can see it. With QVAC, you can run your OpenClaw agent fully on your own machine in a few minutes. Nothing leaves your computer. Full setup guide on the blog, see first comment below. 💡 Pro tip: already running OpenClaw? Send the blog article to your agent and let the it do the set up.

Yesterday we announced that the QVAC SDK update unlocked up to 5x more context on your device thanks to TurboQuant. Today, we’ll go through how we got there. TurboQuant (Google Research, ICLR 2026) is a two-stage KV-cache compression algorithm. Stage 1 - PolarQuant: convert KV vectors from Cartesian (x, y, z...) to polar coordinates. Angles compress predictably down to 3-4 bits. Stage 2 - QJL: 1-bit Johnson-Lindenstrauss correction. Cleans up residual error. Total: ~4-5 bits per value. No retraining. No calibration. QVAC ported it to Vulkan inside qvac-fabric-llm.cpp. Currently, TurboQuant is supported only for AMD & NVIDIA GPUs, support for iOS, Android & Apple Silicon coming next.

Run your coding agent on a local model, with QVAC. OpenCode now plugs into a model on your own machine through our official plugin. That changes two things. Privacy by default. Your repo, your prompts, and every command the agent runs stay on your device. No third-party model ever sees your code. For an agent that reads your codebase and runs commands, that is the point, not a nice-to-have. New workflows. With no meter and no rate limit, the agent does not have to stop. Let it loop on a task, refactor a whole repo overnight, or run a watch-build-fix loop that keeps going. Setup takes a few minutes: one line in opencode.json and OpenCode runs on a local QVAC model. In the video demo, it handles three real developer tasks back to back, fully offline.

You can now run one AI model across the GPUs of your devices, whatever operating system they run: macOS, Linux, Windows, Android or iOS. In the video, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, a 21 GB model, runs across a Samsung S25, an iPhone 16e and a MacBook Pro. None of them could load it alone (8 GB of memory on the iPhone, 12 GB on the S25, 16 GB on the MacBook), so each device takes a slice of the model, and together they answer four prompts at once. A Linux laptop and a Windows PC can pool their memory the same way. It's in the QVAC SDK 0.21, free and open source. Built on llama.cpp's RPC backend, thanks to Georgi Gerganov and Radoslav Gerganov.
