Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r2
Veizik for Apple Silicon. One signed package that reads supported safetensors checkpoints directly and runs eight language models on the machine you already have. 4.8 MB installed.
This page records the state as of 2026-10-02 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.
What this build does
- Strengthens how the engine protects its own code. Nothing changed in how your prompts, your outputs or your account are handled.
- Eight models run from the original checkpoint. There is no conversion step and no second copy on disk.
- 4.8 MB installed — 4,777,641 bytes in 43 files, summed from the published disk image by brand/stage_release.py.
- Signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple; the image carries SHA256SUMS over its other files.

- Platform
- macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64)
- Install size
- 4.8 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.

Fixed issues
- Hardening to the engine's protection of its own code, carried over from a review of this build. Installing it is recommended and is not urgent: nothing about your prompts, your outputs or your account is affected.
Known issues in 2026.10.02-r2
- If the engine cannot start on your Mac it says so and exits rather than running anyway. This only happens on configurations that restrict what an application may do with memory, which a stock macOS does not; if you see it, support@veizik.com.
- 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.
- The benchmark board carries no figures for this release yet. Every published comparison was measured on the previous build's cores and is held rather than reused; the board returns when this package has been measured.
