Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r6.4
`veizik devices` and `veizik deactivate` no longer ask you to set your licence id, and `devices` now lists every machine with its status and when it was last seen. The engines are byte-for-byte the r6.1, r6.2 and r6.3 engines; only the `veizik` command changed.
This page records the state as of 2026-10-10 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.
What this build does
- `veizik devices` and `veizik deactivate` no longer need you to set your licence id. A machine that is already activated, including one activated with an earlier release, asks the activation server for it with its own device key — no browser step, no new approval — and keeps it; a browser or key activation made with this release stores it straight away. `veizik config set license.id` still works and still takes precedence.
- `veizik devices` lists every machine on your licence with its status (active, released or revoked) and the day it was last seen, and marks the one you are on. It used to show only the first machine, with no status.

- Install size
- 16.4 MB, 124 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
- Renewing a lease without a browser no longer leaves a working folder under `~/veizik-out` holding the server's reply; leftovers from earlier versions are removed the next time a lease is renewed. A small temporary file the session cache left in the activation folder is also removed.
- A refused key or password activation no longer leaves the server's reply in the activation folder, where it could later be mistaken for the machine's activation state.
- `veizik --help` now shows `devices [enable|disable]` (it used to show a `<tag>` the command never accepted), and `veizik activate --help` names the account-page sections it refers to.
Known issues in 2026.10.02-r6.4
- `/v1/embeddings` answers 501 in this release.
- The serve window is 4,096 tokens per request for every model in this release (prompt plus max_tokens); `veizik run` is not limited this way.
- Qwen3-1.7B returns its reasoning text inside the answer; add `/no_think` to the prompt for a direct reply.
- Offline use: the session key lasts 48 hours after an online start; restarting the Mac ends that window.
- Not supported: Intel Macs, Windows, Linux.
