The fastest, cheapest, and most private LLM call? The one that never leaves your phone 📱
Learn from @TheCodeTraveler how to run on-device LLMs in #DotNetMAUI & tap into Apple Intelligence with zero token costs: prgress.co/46BL1Uw

🎉 Running On-Device LLMs in .NET MAUI 🎉
Apple Intelligence is an on-device, private LLM that costs $0 per token. It's not perfect (yet), but super easy to utilize thanks to Microsoft Maui Essentials AI.
Check it out! 👇

Replying to @GeorgeLeithead
Good question!
The docs say that Android + Windows support is coming.
Maybe @davidortinau could provide some more insight to its timeline?

Your LLM will eventually say something you really don't want it to say.
In .NET we can now unit test for that 💯
`ViolenceEvaluator` scores every response 0-7, and my test fails above a 1. `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Eval…` also catches Hate, Self-Harm + Prompt Injection before users ever see them.
Full walkthrough 👇

Hello C# Friends!!
Has anybody tried @cognee_ with @claude_code? It's pretty cool!👇
We gave @Claude Code a memory that survives every session.
@TheCodeTraveler ran the same test twice on a real .NET API. Without cognee, a new session forgets every team rule. With our plugin, the agent answers from the knowledge graph.
