Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r2

Veizik for Apple Silicon. One package that reads supported safetensors checkpoints directly and runs eight language models on the machine you already have. 8.7 MB installed.

This page records the state as of 2026-10-02 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.

This build has been superseded and is no longer distributed. The digest below still identifies it, so a copy you already hold can be checked against it. The current build is 2026.10.02-r10.

Withdrawn. Superseded by 2026.10.02-r3, which fixes an upgrade hazard: with an older disk image still mounted, installing could silently run the previous version's installer. Installing the new build is recommended. If you are holding the withdrawn image, its SHA-256 was d4860f6a34f8f95f879293f50986faaf1994b49457f924d0c45f5c79af0b3f6a — the asset is no longer downloadable, and that digest is how you can tell which build you have. If you are still running this build, a first run after an upgrade could stop with an error beginning SEAL REJECT on a model that worked before, while `veizik status` still reported the licence valid; 2026.10.02-r3 fixes that.

Highlights

What this build does

Strengthens how the engine protects its own code. Nothing changed in how your prompts, your outputs or your account are handled.
Eight models run from the original checkpoint. There is no conversion step and no second copy on disk.
8.7 MB installed — 8,712,203 bytes in 85 files, summed from the published disk image itself, not from a build tree.
Signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple; the image carries SHA256SUMS over its other files.

Platform: macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64)
Install size: 8.7 MB, 85 files — no dependency to install first
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.

Installation

Verify, install, check

zsh

$ shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
$ ./install.sh
$ veizik doctor

Full steps are in the documentation.

Fixed

Fixed issues

Hardening to the engine's protection of its own code, carried over from a review of this build. Installing it is recommended and is not urgent: nothing about your prompts, your outputs or your account is affected.

Known issues

Known issues in 2026.10.02-r2

If the engine cannot start on your Mac it says so and exits rather than running anyway. This only happens on configurations that restrict what an application may do with memory, which a stock macOS does not; if you see it, support@veizik.com.
After upgrading, a first run may stop with an error beginning SEAL REJECT on a model that worked before. A helper left running by the previous version is the cause, and veizik status will still report the licence as valid, so trust the run and not the status. Log out and back in, or restart the Mac, and run it again; if you would rather not, ending the veizik-cli _leased process is enough and it keeps nothing on disk.
Headless enrolment is not enabled: every device is activated through a browser.
The first run of a session waits for the licence before it starts. Runs that reuse the in-memory lease do not.
The benchmark board carries no figures for this release yet. Every published comparison was measured on the previous build's cores and is held rather than reused; the board returns when this package has been measured.
