QVAC SDK 0.14.0 is live.
This release makes the on-device stack faster on mobile, ships the developer-agent path, and takes local text-to-speech to 31 languages.
Main highlights:
- OpenCode and OpenClaw. The first official OpenCode plugin, plus a maintained OpenClaw compatibility path, both built on managed mode and qvac serve. Point a coding agent at a local model with far less setup and far fewer surprises.
- Brain-computer interface transcription, on the SDK. Take recorded neural signal data and decode it into text, fully on-device, no cloud. Stream it in chunks through a simple API. In 0.14 it runs GPU-accelerated on iOS.
- Text to Speech in 31 languages with our Supertonic3 upgrade.
VOICE AND SPEECH
- Supertonic3 multilingual TTS, 5 languages to 31.
- Chatterbox and Supertonic now run on the Android GPU, with lower memory use (especially on iOS), quantized s3gen Chatterbox support, and a fix for Chatterbox occasionally emitting random speech.
- Whisper transcription now runs on the iOS GPU. Parakeet runs on the Android GPU, with steadier real-time streaming.
VISION AND OCR
- VLM multi-tile batching: high-resolution Pan and Scan images are encoded in one pass instead of tile by tile, for faster vision throughput.
- OCR on ggml (EasyOCR and DocTR) reaches full speed parity with the onnx path, across Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan.
PLATFORM AND RELIABILITY
- Dynamic compute backends on Linux: one build picks the right backend at runtime, and opens the door to ROCm and CUDA support without per-backend builds.
- Thinking tokens are kept out of the model context, so reasoning no longer fills the KV cache.
SDK 0.14.0 is now leaner and faster to start.
Let’s build.
