The default way of running On-Device AI at Scale

Edge AI is inevitable, but shipping it is painful: every device class behaves differently, runtimes vary, models are huge, and performance collapses under memory/power constraints. RunAnywhere turns that into an enterprise-ready workflow: one SDK to run models on-device, plus a control plane to manage models, enforce policies, and measure outcomes across thousands of devices.

RunAnywhere: The default way to run On-Device AI at scale
See original launch post

We're Sanchit and Shubham, co-founders of RunAnywhere (W26).

TL;DR: Run Multi-modal AI fully on-device with one SDK and manage model rollouts + policies from a control plane.

We are already live and open source with ~3.9k stars on GitHub.

The Problem

Edge AI is inevitable — users want instant responses, full privacy (health, finance, personal data), and AI that actually works on planes, subways, or spotty rural connections.

But shipping it today is brutal:

  • Every device (iPhone 14 vs Android flagship vs low-end) has wildly different memory, thermal limits, and accelerators.
  • Teams waste quarters rebuilding model download/resume/unzip/versioning, lifecycle (load/unload without crashing), multi-engine wrappers (llama.cpp, ONNX, etc.), and cross-platform bindings
  • No real observability — you're blind to fallback rates, per-device perf, crashes tied to model version

Result: most teams either give up on local AI or ship a brittle, hacked-together experience.

The Solution: Complete AI Infrastructure

RunAnywhere isn't just a wrapper around a model. It is a full-stack infrastructure layer for on-device intelligence.

1. The "Boring" Stuff is Built-in We provide a unified API that handles model delivery (downloading with resume support), extraction, and storage management. You don't need to build a file server client inside your app.

2. Multi-Engine & Cross-Platform We abstract away the inference backend. Whether it's llama.cpp or ONNX etc, you use one standard SDK.

  • iOS (Swift)
  • Android (Kotlin)
  • React Native
  • Flutter

3. Hybrid Routing (The Control Plane) We believe the future isn't "Local Only"—it's Hybrid. RunAnywhere allows you to define policies: try to run the request locally for zero latency/privacy; if the device is too hot, too old, or the confidence is low, automatically route the request to the cloud.

Our Ask

We're in full execution mode post-launch and hunting design partners + early feedback:

  • Building voice AI, offline agents, privacy-sensitive features (health/enterprise/consumer), or hybrid chat in your mobile/edge app?
  • Want to eliminate cloud inference costs for repetitive queries while keeping complex ones fast?
  • Have a fleet where OTA model updates + observability would save you engineering months?

Excited to hear what you're building and how we can make on-device AI actually shippable at scale.
