Zyquo Local 1.0.0

Zyquo Local 1.0.0 — first public release 🎉

Run large language models 100 % locally on your Apple Silicon Mac. No API keys, no cloud, no data ever leaving your machine — powered by Apple's MLX.

✨ Highlights

• Private local inference — true token streaming with live tok/s, time-to-first-token and token-count stats under every response; cancellation that actually stops the GPU loop; multi-turn KV-cache reuse with automatic context-window management
• Browse & download models in-app — live Hugging Face search, a hand-curated Featured catalog of 30 verified models, and an industrial download manager (pause/resume across restarts via HTTP Range, retry on network drops, size verification, disk pre-check)
• RAM verdicts for your Mac — every model is stamped Fits / Tight / Too large before you download it
• Reasoning display — DeepSeek-R1 distills and Qwen3 thinking mode stream into a collapsible Thought process section
• Power tools — Quick Chat (global ⌥Space), two-model Compare mode, 56 prompt templates, personas, Markdown/PDF export, menu bar extra
• 57 supported architectures — Llama, Qwen 2/3/3.5/3.6, Mistral, Gemma 1–4, Phi-3/4, gpt-oss, GLM-4, SmolLM3, R1 distills, and more
• Verified — every capability validated end-to-end on real models (see docs/VERIFICATION.md): up to 222 tok/s on Llama-3.2-1B, memory verifiably released on unload
