Hi HN, we&#x27;re Sanchit and Shubham (YC W26). We built a fast inference engine for Apple Silicon. LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech – MetalRT beats llama.cpp, Apple&#x27;s MLX, Ollama, and sherpa-onnx on every modality we tested. Custom Metal shaders, no framework overhead.Also, we&#x27;ve open-sourced RCLI, the fastest end-to-end voice AI pipeline on Apple Silicon. Mic to spoken response, entirely on-device. No cloud, no API keys.To get started:<pre><code> brew tap RunanywhereAI&#x2F;rcli https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RunanywhereAI&#x2F;RCLI.git
 brew install rcli
 rcli setup # downloads ~1 GB of models
 rcli # interactive mode with push-to-talk
</code></pre>
Or:<pre><code> curl -fsSL https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raw.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;RunanywhereAI&#x2F;RCLI&#x2F;main&#x2F;install.sh | bash
</code></pre>
The numbers (M4 Max, 64 GB, reproducible via `rcli bench`):LLM decode – 1.67x faster than llama.cpp, 1.19x faster than Apple MLX (same model files):
- Qwen3-0.6B: 658 tok&#x2F;s (vs mlx-lm 552, llama.cpp 295)
- Qwen3-4B: 186 tok&#x2F;s (vs mlx-lm 170, llama.cpp 87)
- LFM2.5-1.2B: 570 tok&#x2F;s (vs mlx-lm 509, llama.cpp 372)
- Time-to-first-token: 6.6 msSTT – 70 seconds of audio transcribed in *101 ms*. That&#x27;s 714x real-time. 4.6x faster than mlx-whisper.TTS – 178 ms synthesis. 2.8x faster than mlx-audio and sherpa-onnx.We built this because demoing on-device AI is easy but shipping it is brutal. Voice is the hardest test: you&#x27;re chaining STT, LLM, and TTS sequentially, and if any stage is slow, the user feels it. Most teams fall back to cloud APIs not because local models are bad, but because local inference infrastructure is.The thing that&#x27;s hard to solve is latency compounding. In a voice pipeline, you&#x27;re stacking three models in sequence. If each adds 200ms, you&#x27;re at 600ms before the user hears a word, and that feels broken. You can&#x27;t optimize one stage and call it done. Every stage needs to be fast, on one device, with no network round-trip to hide behind.We went straight to Metal. Custom GPU compute shaders, all memory pre-allocated at init (zero allocations during inference), and one unified engine for all three modalities instead of stitching separate runtimes together.MetalRT is the first engine to handle all three modalities natively on Apple Silicon.

MetalRT skips all of it. Custom Metal compute shaders for quantized matmul, attention, and activation - compiled ahead of time, dispatched directly.Voice Pipeline optimizations details: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.runanywhere.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;fastvoice-on-device-voice-ai-pipeline-apple-silicon">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.runanywhere.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;fastvoice-on-device-voice-ai...</a>

Hi HN, I’m Alberto. I co-founded Didit (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;didit.me">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;didit.me</a>) with my identical twin brother Alejandro. We are building a unified identity layer—a single integration that handles KYC, AML, biometrics, authentication, and fraud prevention globally. Here’s a demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=eTdcg7JCc4M&amp;t=7s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=eTdcg7JCc4M&amp;t=7s</a>.Being identical twins, we’ve spent our whole lives dealing with identity confusion, so it is a bit of irony that we ended up building a company to solve it for the internet.Growing up in Barcelona, we spent years working on products where identity issues were a massive pain. We eventually realized that for most engineering teams, &quot;global identity&quot; is a fiction—in reality it is a fragmented mess. You end up stitching together one provider for US driver&#x27;s licenses, another for NFC chip extraction in Europe, a third for AML screening, a fourth for government database validation in Brazil, a fifth for liveness detection on low-end Android devices, and yet another for biometric authentication and age estimation. Orchestrating these into a cohesive flow while adapting to localized regulations like GDPR or CCPA is a nightmare that makes no sense for most teams to be working on.When we looked at the existing &quot;enterprise&quot; solutions, we were baffled. Most require a three-week sales cycle just to see a single page of documentation. Pricing is hidden behind &quot;Contact Us&quot; buttons, and the products themselves are often bloated legacy systems with high latency and abysmal accuracy.We also noticed a recurring pattern: these tools are frequently optimized only for the latest iOS hardware, performing poorly on the mid-range or older Android devices that make up a huge percentage of the market. This results in a &quot;leaky&quot; funnel where legitimate users drop off due to technical friction and fraud goes undetected because data points are spread across disparate systems. Also, these systems are expensive, often requiring massive annual commits that price out early-stage startups.We wanted to build a system that is accessible to everyone—a tool that works like Stripe for identity, where you can get a sandbox key in thirty seconds and start running real verifications with world-class UX and transparent pricing.To solve this, we took the &quot;delusional&quot; path of full vertical integration. Rather than just wrapping existing APIs, we built our own ID verification and biometric AI models—from classification and fraud detection to OCR models for almost every language. This vertical integration is fundamental to how we handle user data. Because we own the entire stack, we control the flow of sensitive information from end-to-end. Your users&#x27; data doesn&#x27;t get bounced around through a chain of third-party black boxes or regional middle-men. This allows us to provide a level of security and privacy that is impossible when you are just an orchestration layer for other people&#x27;s APIs.We believe that identity verification is one of the most critical problems on the internet, and must be solved correctly and ethically. Many people are rightfully skeptical, especially given recent news about projects that have turned identity into a tool for mass data collection or surveillance. We don’t do anything of the sort, but we also don’t want to be coerced in the future, so we facilitate data minimization on the customer side. Instead of a business asking for a full ID scan, we allow them to simply verify a specific attribute—like &quot;is this person over 18?&quot;—without ever seeing the document itself. Our goal is to move the industry away from data hoarding and toward zero knowledge, or at least minimal knowledge, verification.The result of our all-in-one approach is a platform that increases onboarding rates while lowering identity costs. We’ve focused on building a high-confidence automated loop that reduces the need for manual review by up to 90%, catching sophisticated deepfakes and spoofing attempts that standard vision models miss. Our SDK is optimized for low bandwidth connections, ensuring it works on spotty 3G networks where legacy providers usually fail.We are fully live, and you can jump into the dashboard at 
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;business.didit.me">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;business.didit.me</a> to see the workflow orchestration immediately. Our pricing is transparent and success-based; we don’t believe in hiding costs behind a sales call.We’re here all day to answer any question—whether it’s about how we handle NFC verification, our approach to deepfake detection, the general ethics behind biometric data retention, or how we think about the future of identity. We’d love your brutal HN feedback on our APIs, platform, and integration flow!
