Event Summary

CleanMyMac, a Ukrainian software company, and Liquid AI, a foundation model company spun out of MIT, announced a strategic, long-term partnership to co-develop an on-device AI technology stack for the Mac. The collaboration combines Liquid AI's Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs), designed for macOS AI assistance, with CleanMyMac's on-device inference (Elix) and memory (Mnemos) technologies. The first product to benefit will be Eney, CleanMyMac's AI assistant for macOS, with results expected later this year. The partnership aims to bring private, fast, and offline-capable AI to millions of Mac users, with plans to eventually make the shared AI stack available to Mac developers through Setapp. The companies will jointly build a new local AI architecture, with Liquid AI developing and fine-tuning models for Eney's tasks and CleanMyMac developing the memory layer. This combination of on-device intelligence, persistent memory, and native macOS task execution is described as a first for the Mac.
