MacPaw announced a long-term strategic partnership with Liquid AI to co-develop an on-device AI technology stack built specifically for the Mac. The collaboration will start with Eney, MacPaw’s AI assistant for macOS. Liquid AI’s Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) will be adapted for Mac-based assistance and combined with MacPaw’s own on-device technologies: Mnemos for memory and Elix for inference. Eney already shifted to a local model last year, keeping reasoning, contextual search, skill execution, and conversation history on the device whenever possible. The new partnership is intended to push that approach further, with the two companies jointly developing the underlying stack rather than MacPaw simply adding another third-party model. Once the technology has been tested and implemented in Eney, MacPaw plans to bring it to more of its products. It also wants to make the shared AI stack available to Mac developers through Setapp, which could let participating apps expose more of their capabilities and context to Eney, allowing the assistant to understand what is inside an app and provide more useful answers or take relevant actions.
