    While not exactly the hub style you mentioned, maybe this is as close to Jamming you can get. https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/garageband-ipad/chsf2f...

    Wow, didn't know about Spotify's basic-pitch or that any song to midi model existed. Gonna be a good time sink to play around with. The standalone mac app build was straightforward…

    On-device video subtitles generation is exciting, should help with watching videos on mute. This seems like a low hanging fruit that should've already been grabbed by an app but I …

    I hope the other sizes are coming too(9B for me). Can't fit much context with this on a 36GB mac.

    Have you ever tried going to the model registry and seeing that the model was recently updated? What updated? What changed? Should I re-download this 20GB file? I guess if you're n…
