<p>(Disclosure: I work on inference at Antfly)<p>A little context on the inference and fine-tuning side of things at Antfly. Our model runtime is written in Zig, with no C++ bindings or dependencies. Over the last few months, we wrote our own CPU, Metal and CUDA kernels for the set of models that we support: Gemma4, Gliner2, Qwen3, Florence2, etc,<p>We’ve also created a JIT compiler for Metal/CUDA kernels, which should make it faster for us to add new kernel implementations in the future.<p>We're currently working on the infra to finetune (and deploy) Gliner2 and Gemma4 models directly in Antfly.<p>Happy to answer any questions about the inference runtime or fine-tuning work!</p>
