Mac Paw has announced a strategic partnership with Liquid AI to co-develop an on-device AI technology stack for Mac. The collaboration begins with Eney, Mac Paw's AI assistant for macOS. Liquid AI's Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) will be adapted for Mac-based assistance, combined with Mac Paw's on-device technologies: Mnemos for memory and Elix for inference.

Eney already uses a local model, keeping reasoning and conversation history on the device. The partnership aims to advance this approach. After testing in Eney, the stack will expand to Mac Paw's products and be available to Mac developers via Setapp.

This could allow apps to share context with Eney, enabling more accurate responses and actions. The technology focuses on privacy and performance by prioritizing on-device processing.
