If you haven't done it yet, you should also definitely subscribe to weekly newsletter by @sebastienlorber.com. It's packed with insane amount of information from both React and React Native! thisweekinreact.com

You can read each month here on our website www.callstack.com/newsletter, or subscribe!

Try it out today! `@react-native-ai/apple` and AI SDK!

With React Native AI, we ship precompiled libraries for the most popular models. This setup is reduced to zero.

What are prebuilds in this context? (Not React Native this time!)

MLC needs its runtime and model libraries compiled before use. Until now, that meant extra manual steps before you could run a model locally.

Get started today. Check out our repository github.com/callstackin...

The MLC provider is part of a broader suite of our tools for running AI on mobile devices. Check them all out here and star the repo!

It's an interesting alternative: you can mix both providers, e.g. run Apple on-device first while your remote model downloads in the background.

Unlike the Apple provider, the MLC provider doesn’t rely on system-wide models. It downloads weights for each model you use, which can take time.

What is going on here?
- MLC is an optimized runtime for running different models on iOS, Android, and desktop GPUs
- We download the model weights onto the device
- Finally, we load it into the engine and set up everything needed for inference

We cover the common causes and solutions:
- Reverse ADB port
- Update network configs
- Reset emulator data

Thank you Dan for all your work on Bluesky and React Native! I enjoyed discussions on decentralization, I think you did make it much easier for all of us, and moved React Native even further! Excited for what's next for you, and enjoy your family time! I'll try to catch you next time I am in London!
