With 30+ billion run rate (https://x.com/i/status/2041275563466502560), there should be plenty of cash to invest in infrastructure.

From https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/15940#issuecomm...:

> This is a massive task, likely 2-3 months of full-time work for a highly specialized engineer. Until the Qwen team contributes the implementation, there are no quick fixes.

Agreed, the Mammotion hardware is amazing - the app is horrible. An open API would solve this as well, but there's little chance with the Chinese owners.

It's not part of the stable release yet, but the beta version that was released today has an option to enable this: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/06/developer-...

I tried it and it works great - Dex-like experience with mouse and keyboard, on a stock Pixel phone.
