Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r10

The engines are rebuilt with stronger protection against reverse-engineering of the on-device engine. Nothing you type or see changes: generation is token-for-token identical to r6.1–r6.5 (decode byte-identical, argmax unchanged). The `veizik` command, activation and the model catalogue are unchanged.

This page records the state as of 2026-10-10 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.

Highlights

What this build does

  • Engine hardening: the engines behind veizik run and veizik serve are rebuilt with stronger protection against reverse-engineering. Render is token-for-token identical to r6.1–r6.5 (decode byte-identical, same argmax), so outputs do not change; the binaries are no longer byte-identical to the earlier builds.
  • The benchmarks board's speed and memory figures were measured on the r6.1–r6.5 cores and carry to r10 because an independent security review verified that the engines render identically and a steady-state speed probe is within measurement noise; each carried row says so.

Verification
The file name, size and SHA-256 are printed on this page and on the release page, and the two agree. The disk image is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, and carries SHA256SUMS covering its other 49 files, so `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS` checks the contents after you open it.

Fixed

Fixed issues

  • No functional change from r6.5. This release hardens the engines only.
Known issues

Known issues in 2026.10.02-r10

  • /v1/embeddings answers 501 in this release.
  • Qwen3-1.7B returns its reasoning text inside the answer; add /no_think to the prompt for a direct reply.
  • Offline use: the session key lasts 48 hours after an online start; restarting the Mac ends that window.
  • Not supported: Intel Macs, Windows, Linux.
