<p>Also I found this gem in my inbox - not just YC companies :/<p>"""
Hi there!<p>I noticed you’re interested in on-device AI development and wanted to flag a new bounty program we just launched with Qualcomm.
We’re looking for developers to build a local Android AI app (using the Nexa SDK). Since you're already exploring this space, I thought this might be an easy win for you.<p>The Bounty at a glance:
- Prizes: $6,500 cash pool + Flagship Snapdragon devices.
- Perks: Direct partnership & marketing spotlight from Qualcomm (huge for visibility)
- The Ask: Build a working Android AI app that runs locally.<p>Registration is open now: <a href="https://sdk.nexa.ai/bounty" rel="nofollow">https://sdk.nexa.ai/bounty</a><p>I want to help you win. Once you register, please reply to this email. I’d be happy to advise on your ideas to increase your chances of winning. Or, if you have an existing project, I can guide you on how to port it to NexaSDK for the submission<p>Best,
Lynn @ Nexa AI

<p>Yo, I also got the email:<p>"""
Hi Matt,<p>I found your GitHub and thought you might like what we're building. We're developing an open source SDK that runs LLMs directly on-device.<p>We're getting about 45 tokens per second on iPhones, with support for Swift, Kotlin, React Native and Flutter. There's also a fully offline voice pipeline built in, so everything runs locally. We recently got into Y Combinator and are focused on expanding support to more edge devices and continuously improving performance.<p>If you're curious, here's the repo: github.com/RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-sdks<p>Feel free to reply to this email with any feedback or ideas you'd like to explore with on-device AI, or if you'd be interested in contributing. I'd love to hear your thoughts.<p>Best,
Aditya
"""<p>Just to share the entire email, I think it's pretty well written, I went ahead and talked to the team, they were very curious and took my feedback regarding their flutter sdks very seriously, and they seem to be great people. Also, just an fyi, I tried their sdks, it's great! and I've been loving their apps as well.<p>I think their team is great, and I asked them for adding the rag implementation, they did it in less than week and it's pretty impressive. I think it's worth checking it out, It's easier to demean someone in public  like that but might be worth checking.</p>
