feat: add NeuRT (Apple Neural Engine) backend and bump to SDK 0.20.24 - #14
Conversation
Wires the new @runanywhere/electron-neurt package (RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-sdks#734) into the app: registers it alongside the existing four backends in src/main/index.ts, adds it to use-sdk.mjs's local-staging backend list, and bumps every @runanywhere/electron-* dependency to ^0.20.24 (the release that also carries the QHexRT Windows DLL-search-path fix). NeuRT models register by URL (src/shared/neurt-catalog.ts) rather than through the fixed-file-list CATALOG table in model-catalog.ts: a Core ML bundle is a directory tree with a variable, coremltools-determined file count, unlike QHexRT's fixed 5-file manifest+weights list, so it cannot be described as a CatalogEntry's files: CatalogFile[]. Registration happens twice by design — once in main.ts's own renderer boot() (for real app launches) and once explicitly in the e2e test's beforeAll (mirroring how the test already drives initialize() itself rather than racing the app's boot, since models.register() for an already-registered id is a no-op, not an error). Verified end-to-end on real Apple Silicon hardware: the full Playwright inference suite passes, including a new "neurt generates text on the Apple Neural Engine" test that downloads a public HF-hosted Core ML bundle, loads it, and generates real text (~117 tok/s on LFM2.5 230M).

RunAnywhere SDK GenerateResult model property models.load download failed event semantics @runanywhere/electron``
💡 Result:
The RunAnywhere SDK, including the @runanywhere/electron package, provides a structured environment for managing AI models, but the specific event semantics you inquired about appear to be associated with custom implementations or external libraries rather than the core RunAnywhere API [1][2][3]. 1. Model Property in GenerateResult: The LLMGenerationResult object used across RunAnywhere SDKs includes a model_used field (of type string) to identify the specific model employed for a generation task [4][5]. It does not contain a nested model property; rather, it identifies the model via this top-level field [5]. 2. models.load and Download Failed Event Semantics: There is no native @runanywhere/electron event documented as models.load or a corresponding download failed event [1][2]. - In the RunAnywhere SDK, models are typically loaded using asynchronous methods such as RunAnywhere.loadLLM('model-id') or via a models.load interface [6][1][2]. - While some third-party or OpenAI-compatible wrappers (often using similar naming conventions) implement custom event buses that trigger models.loaded or models.fetch.error events [7][8], these are not standard parts of the official RunAnywhere SDK specification [3]. - If you are encountering a download failed event, it is likely being emitted by your specific implementation's event bus or an underlying native backend error handler, rather than a built-in event constant within the @runanywhere/electron package [6][1]. For robust error handling in @runanywhere/electron, you should wrap your loading calls in try/catch blocks to capture rejection, as the load operations return promises that throw upon failure [6][9].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-electron "out.model" OR "result.model" OR "model_used"
💡 Result:
The terms out.model, result.model, and model_used do not represent a standardized or universally recognized framework in software development or machine learning. Based on the available information, these specific identifiers are not linked to a common library, API, or general programming convention [1]. In the context of the RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-electron project, the term out is used to refer to a build output directory where bundled files (CommonJS and ESM) are placed [1]. Beyond this specific repository usage, these terms may appear as arbitrary variable names within custom codebases to track machine learning model outputs or the specific models utilized during a process [1]. If you are encountering these terms in a specific software project, they are likely implementation-specific variables defined by the developers of that particular system [1].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/RunanywhereAI/runanywhere-sdks "model_used" "GenerationResult" OR "LLMGenerationResult"
💡 Result:
LLMGenerationResult is a canonical, protocol buffer-defined data structure used within the RunAnywhere SDK ecosystem to return comprehensive results from Large Language Model (LLM) text generation tasks [1][2][3]. It serves as the standard, platform-agnostic output format for generation operations across different language SDKs (e.g., Kotlin, Flutter, Swift), ensuring consistency in how performance metrics and response metadata are handled [2][3][4]. Key characteristics of LLMGenerationResult include: 1. Canonical Definition: It is defined as a Wire-generated proto message in the SDK's IDL (Interface Definition Language), specifically within llm_options.proto [1][3]. 2. Comprehensive Metadata: Beyond the generated text itself, the object carries essential performance and operational metrics [1][3]. Fields include: - model_used: The identifier of the specific model that performed the generation [1][2]. - Token Counts: Detailed reporting on input (prompt) tokens, generated (completion) tokens, and thinking/reasoning tokens [1]. - Timing Metrics: Total wall-clock generation time, time-to-first-token (TTFT), and throughput (tokens-per-second) [1][2]. - Thinking Content: Optional support for structured reasoning or thinking content separate from the final response text [1][4]. - Finish Reason: The status indicating why the generation ended (e.g., "stop", "length", "error") [1][5]. - Structured Output: Optional fields for JSON output when structured-output modes are requested [1]. In practice, SDKs typically map lower-level engine results (such as C-based structs from LlamaCPP backends) into this LLMGenerationResult object before returning it to the application layer [4]. It is the expected return type for unary generate calls, whereas streaming operations use a different event-based model that may culminate in a final aggregate result [5][6].
