An Etch-trained app built / app coming
The festival in your pocket, with no signal.
Kandi runs a small model on your phone. We trained it with Torad Etch on a festival's event knowledge, so it answers with no network.
installed in the weights · no lookup · no server
What was installed
The festival is inside the model, not looked up when you ask.
Most apps fetch their facts from a server. Kandi does not: Torad Etch trained the festival's event knowledge into the model with Keeping a model in its original learning phase on new material, so the knowledge ends up part of the model itself instead of being looked up from a database at question time., so the facts live in the weights.
Two ways to answer a question: A looked up from a server, or B read from the weights. Select a path.
A the cloud path: your question goes to a server, which looks the facts up in a database and sends an answer back. B the Kandi path: the facts already live in the model on your phone, so the answer comes straight from the weights.
What you need
A small specialist, honest about its edges.
Kandi knows the festival, not the whole internet. The spec sheet lists what it runs on and where it stops.
Honest scope. It remembers best where we gave it the most to read, and does not claim the entire lineup. The demo questions are seeded from what it recalls reliably, so you see it at its strongest and we say so.
Try it
Two surfaces, and we will always tell you which one you are on.
A way to query the model in your browser is coming soon, timed to the app release. One caveat we will not hide: a web "try it" box cannot run the way the app does.
On your phone
how Kandi runsThe small 4-bit model lives on the device. It answers offline, with no network. Nothing leaves the phone, because nothing has anywhere to go.
This is the real thing: installed in the weights, no server.
In a browser
coming soonA web "try it" box has to run the same model on a server, because a browser cannot run the 4-bit model that lives on your phone.
That is not how Kandi works: it runs offline, on your phone. We will always tell you which one you are using.
Get it first
Be first when Kandi ships.
We trained the model once, and every phone that installs the app gets the same answer offline. We will tell you the moment it lands.
