Crazy low latency.Kuaishou's video model. The surprise standout.Terminal-based AI pair programmer. Git-aware, model-flexible.

Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Developers who need sub-100ms LLM responses.Anyone who wants top-tier video quality for less.Developers who want open-source tooling with full control.
Strengths
  • Ambient, proactive intelligence delivered via native iOS widgets — no app-switching required
  • Cross-domain context: health, calendar, email, finances, and local recommendations in one layer
  • Works within iOS permission model (no jailbreak or sideloading), making App Store approval plausible
  • Strong pre-launch signal: 25k+ waitlist and backing from a16z, True Ventures, and SV Angel
  • 500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant
  • Custom LPU hardware
  • Great free tier
  • Very strong motion + physics
  • Often beats Runway on realism
  • Great price
  • Works in any terminal
  • Auto-commits changes with meaningful messages
  • Works with any model (Claude, GPT, local)
  • Minimal learning curve
Weaknesses
  • Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet
  • iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market
  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Open-weight models only (no Claude/GPT)
  • Less flexibility on custom configs
  • UX is rough for English speakers
  • Queue times
  • Terminal-only
  • Less agentic than Claude Code
  • Setup on Windows is fiddly
Kai's verdictThe concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
