Kapitsa: open-source Apple Silicon optimized Metal engine built for Qwen and Nemotron. See benchmarks of Qwen 27B, Nemotron + 8 other models on an M1 Pro (16GB), M4 Pro (48GB) and M5 Max (128GB)

Explain Like I'm Normal

Kapitsa is a new open-source inference engine specifically optimized for Apple Silicon and the Metal API. By focusing strictly on Qwen and Nemotron model architectures, the developers achieved significant speed gains for running coding agents on local hardware without internet access. Benchmarks show impressive results across M1 to M4 chips, making it a powerful tool for dev-heavy local workflows.
