I had the same question. He says TestFlight, but he's handwaving some of the headaches of that. TF builds expire every 90 days. The other option would be an adhoc certificate, but …

Are you getting useful content out of the 7B model? It goes off the rails way too often for me to find it useful.

Agreed with the comments on the demo video music. It was startling. I'm pretty skeptical still as all your demo has shown is similar to what a boilerplate tool might do, but with m…
