What you can build
Every capability below runs fully on-device behind one semantic API across the eight SDKs.
Call RunAnywhere.capabilities() (v4) to discover what the current package and device can
actually execute — enum presence alone does not mean an engine is installed.
- LLM chat: Llama, Qwen, Gemma, Phi, LFM, SmolLM, DeepSeek, and more, with token streaming, multi-turn history, and LoRA adapters
- Structured output: schema-validated JSON; constrained decoding where the engine supports it (
generateStructured+ enforcement mode) - Tool calling: local function tools with stable call IDs and an agent loop (parallel calls when the engine/capability reports support)
- Vision (VLM): image understanding, live camera description, and photo Q&A
- Computer-use action parser (CUA): parse Fara1.5-style action strings into viewport-scaled coordinates — not a full autonomous agent framework
- Speech-to-Text: Whisper and Moonshine transcription, batch and live frame streams
- Text-to-Speech: neural voices from Piper, Kokoro, Kitten, MeloTTS, and Magpie
- Voice agents: VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS in one pipeline with
SpeechHandle-scoped playback (wake-word detection is not implemented) - Embeddings: L2-normalized vectors for search and retrieval
- RAG: local document ingestion and retrieval-augmented answers, with streaming
- Image generation: Stable Diffusion on Core ML, plus inpainting on the Hexagon NPU (platform/backend gated)
Your code rarely picks hardware. Engines register what they can run, and the highest-priority engine that fits the device wins: QHexRT on the Snapdragon Hexagon NPU, MLX on Apple silicon, llama.cpp everywhere (Metal on Apple, CUDA on NVIDIA as an opt-in build, WebGPU in the browser), sherpa + ONNX for speech and embeddings, and Core ML for diffusion. LiteRT and ExecuTorch are reserved framework values only — they are not integrated runtimes yet.
See it in action
Quick start
The fastest way to feel it. Install, load, generate, all local:
pip install runanywhere
import runanywhere as ra
from runanywhere import LlmOptions
ra.initialize()
# downloads on first use
print(ra.llm.generate("Explain on-device AI in one sentence.",
LlmOptions(model="qwen2.5-0.5b")).text)
Prefer a terminal? Install the CLI from RunanywhereAI/wally — it consumes the C++ desktop kit this repo publishes:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RunanywhereAI/wally/main/install.sh | sh
wally run qwen3 "Explain on-device AI in one sentence."
Building for mobile, web, or desktop? Every platform below speaks the same API.

| Connect (LAN host/client) | Host (macOS) / Client (iOS, iPadOS) | Client | — | — | — | — | — | — |
Connect (trusted LAN)
Connect lets a macOS Swift app host a loaded language model on the local network so iOS, iPadOS, and Android clients can discover it and stream generation without downloading that model. It is app-scoped (lives with the host app process), not an OS daemon.
| Role | Supported today | Not in this release |
|---|---|---|
| Host | macOS (Swift example / SDK) | Windows, Electron, Web, RN, Flutter |
| Client | iOS, iPadOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin) | React Native, Flutter, Web, Electron |
- Discovery: Bonjour / NSD service type
_runanywhere-connect._tcp - Transport: framed TCP on the LAN; commons owns protocol version, role policy, session accounting, and generation validation (
idl/connect.proto,rac_connect_*) - Lifecycle: the host app selects and loads the model, starts hosting, and supplies generation; stopping the host disconnects clients
- Threat model: trusted LAN only — no TLS, pairing PIN, or mutual auth in this release. Do not expose Connect across untrusted networks. Future work may add TLS/pairing, Windows hosting, or a daemon; those change lifecycle and security and are out of scope here
- Electron note:
RunAnywhereMain.connect()is local MessagePort / utility-process IPC inside one Electron app. It is unrelated to LAN Connect
CUA on Web is "API only": the prompt/parse scaffold ships, but the catalogued Fara1.5-4B does not fit the 4 GB WASM32 heap, so no CUA model is seeded there.
Inference engines
Every SDK is a thin binding over runanywhere-commons, a single C++ core behind a pure C ABI. Engines plug into a capability registry and declare, per modality, what they can run. At inference time the highest-priority engine that serves the modality on the current device wins. Same code, different silicon, no branching in your app.
| Engine | Modalities | Runs on | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| QHexRT | LLM, VLM, STT, TTS, embeddings, inpainting | Snapdragon Hexagon NPU (v75 / v79 / v81) | RunAnywhere's own NPU runtime, details below |
| MLX | LLM, VLM, STT, TTS, embeddings | Apple silicon | Apple-native inference via mlx-swift, safetensors models |
| llama.cpp | LLM, VLM | Everywhere: Metal on Apple, CUDA opt-in on Windows/Linux, WebGPU + WASM in the browser, CPU with NEON/AVX | GGUF models |
| sherpa + ONNX | STT, TTS, VAD, embeddings | All platforms | sherpa-onnx for speech, ONNX Runtime for embeddings and RAG |
| Core ML | Image generation (diffusion) | iOS, macOS | Core ML dispatches each layer across CPU, GPU, and the Apple Neural Engine |
| Platform | Apple Foundation Models, system TTS | iOS, macOS, Android | Native OS capabilities behind the same API |
| Cloud | Hybrid STT | All platforms | Optional confidence-cascade routing to hosted providers |
MetalRT, RunAnywhere's proprietary GPU inference engine for Apple silicon, powers RCLI, our on-device voice assistant for macOS with local RAG and 40+ system actions at sub-200 ms latency. Signed binaries live at metalrt-binaries.
Hexagon NPU acceleration (QHexRT)
QHexRT is RunAnywhere's inference runtime for the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU. It runs LLM, vision, speech, and text-to-speech models directly on the Snapdragon NPU (Hexagon v75 / v79 / v81) and ships as a built-in accelerator: your app calls the same loadModel and generate, and it uses the NPU automatically on supported devices.
- Runs LLM, VLM, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech on the NPU, including text-to-speech, which other runtimes run on the CPU.
- Runs Mixture-of-Experts and hybrid-attention models on the NPU (Phi-tiny-MoE, Qwen3.5), plus the 1-bit Bonsai family up to Bonsai-27B (Hexagon v81).
- Runs NVIDIA's Cosmos3-Edge and Magpie-TTS Multilingual, and handles embeddings and image inpainting (LaMa) on the NPU as well.
- Hybrid streaming voice agents: LLM on the NPU, STT and TTS on the CPU, with sentence-by-sentence streaming playback.
- Fast prefill and low time-to-first-token, with context that extends past the compiled window.
- Prebuilt model bundles published on Hugging Face; the SDK downloads the one matching the device.
Measured on a Samsung Galaxy S25 (Snapdragon 8 Elite, Hexagon v79):
| Model | Task | Params | Decode | Time to first token |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LFM2.5-230M | LLM | 0.23 B | 164 tok/s | 32 ms |
| Qwen3-0.6B | LLM | 0.6 B | 33 tok/s (prefill up to 3,692 tok/s) | 127 ms |
| Llama-3.2-1B | LLM | 1.2 B | 16.3 tok/s | 56 ms |
| Phi-tiny-MoE | MoE LLM | 3.8 B (1.1 B active) | 5-7 tok/s | ~2.5 s |
| InternVL3.5-1B | VLM | 1 B | 37 tok/s | 290 ms |
| Whisper base | ASR | 74 M | ~5x real-time | n/a |
| MeloTTS-EN | TTS | n/a | ~4.5x real-time | n/a |
Available on the Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native SDKs. Snapdragon (Android arm64) only.
OpenAI-compatible server
The Python SDK and wally both expose the local runtime as a drop-in OpenAI API, so anything that speaks the OpenAI client works against models running on your machine:
pip install "runanywhere[server]"
runanywhere serve # http://127.0.0.1:8000
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="not-needed")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
model="qwen2.5-0.5b",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from the edge."}],
)
Endpoints: /v1/chat/completions (streaming and non-streaming, text and vision), /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/audio/transcriptions, /v1/audio/speech, and /v1/models. wally serve is LLM-only: it serves one model on port 8080 with /v1/chat/completions and /v1/models.
RunAnywhere Console
The Console is the control plane for on-device AI fleets. SDKs authenticate with an API key, register the device with its hardware profile, pull their assigned models, and report per-modality telemetry.
- Deploy models over the air: assign catalog or bring-your-own models to an API key, and devices fetch them on their next sync. New models without an app release.
- Device fleet: every registered device with its chip, memory, and NPU capability.
- Analytics: usage, latency, and errors per modality across the fleet.
- Benchmarks: compare local models against hosted providers.
The Console is optional. Every SDK runs fully offline without an API key, and telemetry is scoped per modality when enabled.

Example apps
Full consumer-assistant apps, one per platform, all built on the SDK. The iOS, Android, Web, and Electron apps live in their own repositories; the Flutter and React Native ones are still in this tree.
| Platform | Source | Get it |
|---|---|---|
| iOS | RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-ios | App Store |
| Android | RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-android | Google Play |
| Web | RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-web | Build from source |
| Electron | RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-electron | Build from source (Windows) |
| React Native | bindings/react-native/example | Build from source |
| Flutter | bindings/flutter/example | Build from source |
The Android, Flutter, and React Native apps include an NPU section that detects the device's Hexagon arch and runs LLM, vision, speech, and text-to-speech on the NPU.
Minimal examples, the in-repo harnesses SDK contributors use to check a change end to end. Each builds the SDK from local source, so an edit shows up without a publish step:
| SDK | Harness | Run it |
|---|---|---|
| Swift | bindings/swift/example | ./run example ios run |
| Kotlin | bindings/kotlin/example | ./run example android install |
| Web | bindings/web/example | ./run example web dev |
Starters, minimal projects to copy from: Swift · Kotlin · Flutter · React Native · Web
Real projects built on the stack:
- RCLI: on-device voice assistant for macOS with local RAG and 40+ system actions, powered by MetalRT
