Who is it for?
Decision note
Suitable for evaluation after confirming final commercial terms, permissions, data handling, current product scope, and edit-screen aliases. Keep Needs Review enabled until a human verifies the published profile.
Key features
On-device LLM, vision, speech, and embeddings
One C++ runtime across multiple SDKs
Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, and web support
MetalRT engines for Apple GPUs
QHexRT acceleration for Qualcomm NPUs
Hosted console for model and fleet operations
Use cases
Adding private AI to mobile apps
Running offline voice assistants
Deploying local vision-language models

Pros
- Keeps inference and user data on-device
- Supports several production application frameworks
- Publishes code, benchmarks, engines, and documentation
Cons
- Hardware support varies by SDK and device
- Larger commercial users need a separate license
- Local model quality and performance depend on hardware
Limitations
RunAnywhere provides inference infrastructure, not model accuracy, safety, rights, or device compatibility guarantees. Teams must test every target device, model license, memory footprint, battery impact, hardware accelerator, fallback runtime, and hosted-console data flow before release.
