🎨 The open-source Claude Design alternative.

What's new

🖥️ Local-first native desktop app for macOS and Windows.

  • 🤖 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / OpenCode / Qwen & 20+ CLIs via BYOK.
  • 🔥 Open Design 0.13.0 — Stay in Flow is here.
  • Long design sessions used to break on every interruption — a run lost its place, a model picker made you guess, an export needed one more detour.

Results & evidence

  • 🤖 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / OpenCode / Qwen & 20+ CLIs via BYOK.

  • For inference, we implement custom SIMD kernels and fused operators within the ggml framework targeting both ARM and x86 platforms, achieving real-time recognition with RTF < 1 using as few as 3 CPU threads.
  • VibeVoice-ASR-BitNet is 1.6-2.3x faster than Whisper.cpp at comparable model sizes (~1.6 GB), with only modest accuracy degradation compared to the FP16 baseline.

  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.

PromptPack: Scaling LLM Annotation Agents for Online Recommendation

Signal 9.4 Novelty 5.1 Impact 2.0 Confidence 7.5 Actionability 5.2

Summary: arXiv:2607.20528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online recommendation platforms increasingly use Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract structured features from ad creatives.

  • What happened: To break this cost bottleneck, we introduce PromptPack, a scalable, high-throughput LLM annotation agent.
  • Why it matters: While deploying a single-call LLM annotation agent yields significant Click-Through Rate (CTR) improvements in our live production environment, per-creative prompting is.
  • What to do: Track for corroboration and benchmark data before adopting.
Deep

Context

PromptPack achieves this scale via in-context batching, combining a shared system prompt, a strict XML structural envelope, and an output correction layer to ensure deterministic, pipeline-ready feature extraction across multiple creatives simultaneously.
