Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.01
Veizik for Apple Silicon. One signed package that reads supported safetensors checkpoints directly and runs eight language models on the machine you already have. The package figures for this version are not measured yet: the image is still being prepared, and a size carried over from the build it replaces is a number with nothing behind it.
This page records the state as of 2026-10-01 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.
This build has been superseded and is no longer distributed. The digests below still identify it, so a copy you already hold can be checked against them. The current build is 2026.10.02.
What this build does
- Eight models run from the original checkpoint. There is no conversion step and no second copy on disk.
- The full board, including where another engine is ahead, is on the benchmarks page.
- The licence is leased into memory for a short window. The first run of a session waits for it; the runs that reuse it start in well under a second and finish with the internet switched off.
- The package figures for this version are not measured yet: the image is still being prepared, and a size carried over from the build it replaces is a number with nothing behind it.
- Signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple; the image carries SHA256SUMS over its other 49 files.

- Install size
- 4.7 MB, 43 files — no dependency to install first
- Verification
- The file name, size and SHA-256 are printed on this page and on the release page, and the two agree. The disk image is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, and carries SHA256SUMS covering its other 49 files, so `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS` checks the contents after you open it.
Verify, install, check
$ shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS $ ./install.sh $ veizik doctor

Fixed issues
Known issues in 2026.10.01
- Headless enrolment is not enabled: every device is activated through a browser.
- The first run of a session waits for the licence before it starts. Runs that reuse the in-memory lease do not.
