Is it me or does the App Store website look... fake? The text in the header ("Productiviteit", "Alleen voor iPhone") looks pixelated, like it was edited on Paint, the header background is flickering, the app icon and screenshots are very low quality, the title of the website is incomplete ("App Store voor iPho...")

Nothing weird on my side

Impressive model, for sure. I've been running it on my Mac, now I get to have it locally in my iPhone? I need to test this. Wait, it does agent skills and mobile actions, all local to the phone? Whaaaat? (Have to check out later! Anyone have any tips yet?) I don't normally do the whole "abliterated" thing (dealignment) but after discovering https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic , I was too tempted to try it with this mode…

I'm tired of this concern trolling.

Haven't built anything on the agent skills platform yet, but it's pretty cool imo.

On Android the sandbox loads an index.html into a WebView, with standardized string I/O to the harness via some window properties. You can even return a rendered HTML page.

Definitely hacked together, but feels like an indication of what an edge compute agentic sandbox might look like in future.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What browser are you using? I don't see any of this behavior on Firefox...

Firefox on Windows, but it looks about the same in Edge Screenshot of the header: https://i.imgur.com/4abfGYF.png

It looks like there is some sort of glow effect on the text that isn't rendering right on your browser? It arguably doesn't have the best contrast, but seems to be as intended in Safari 26.3. Looks similar on Chrome macOS too: https://imgur.com/yq5PrKm.

These new models are very impressive. There should be a massive speedup coming as well, AI Edge Gallery is running on GPU, but NPUs in recent high end processors should be much faster. A16 chip for example (Macbook Neo and iphone 16 series) has 35 TOPS of Neural Engine vs 7 TFLOPS gpu. Similar story for Qualcomm.
