I’ve seen several projects like this that offer a network server with access to these Apple models. The danger is when they expose that, even on a loop port, to every other application on your system, including the browser. Random webpages are now shipping with JavaScript that will post to that port. Same-origin restrictions will stop data flow back to the webpage, but that doesn’t stop them from issuing commands to make changes.<p>Some such projects use CORS to allow read back as well. I haven’t read Apfel’s code yet, but I’m registering the experiment before performing it.

AFM models are very impressive, but they’re not made for conversation, so keep your expectations down in chat mode.

Anyone tried using this as a sub-agent for a more capable model like Claude&#x2F;Codex?

It’s a very small model but I’ve been playing with it for some time now I’m impressed. Have we been sleeping on Apple’s models?<p>Imagine they baked Qwen 3.5 level stuff into the OS. Wow that’d be cool.

Really like demo cli tools description. Are they limited by the context window as well? What’s your experience with log file sizes?

Notes.app handles big notebooks without choking on storage?
