Wondering if anyone has played around with the Strix Halo based systems with 128GB of unified memory for local AI, and what their experience has been so far in running different models: - Practical limit on number of parameters x quantization - What you've been using it for - Which models and inference engines combine well

I was tired of outdated UIs and performance of similar tools. Nor did I want to write ImageMagick scripts every time I needed to resize/convert/watermark a folder with a few thousand images.

It's a native desktop app built with C++23, Skia for rendering, libvips for image processing and my own cross-platform UI toolkit - no Electron/Qt.

It allows building reusable pipelines: resize, convert, compress, watermark, sharpen, blur, rotate, flip, rename, and metadata (EXIF/IPTC/XMP) editing, chained in any order and saved for reuse. Batches run in parallel.

Everything is local — no uploads, no signups/account, no telemetry, no network calls during processing.

It's currently in public beta (as mentioned, no signups or accounts needed - can just download), for Windows and Linux (Wayland only). Waiting for the Apple certificate to sign the macOS dmg installer, at which point I'll post the download link for macOS.

Business model: free beta now, one I've received enough feedback and the tool is mature enough - a one-time license per major version once it's out of beta. There won't be any subscriptions or telemetry ever.

Would love to get your feedback, especially on missing formats/operations (e.g. RAW file formats, watch folders, a CLI) to drive the roadmap to the first official version.

Cheers.

Dear all,

our team is using a Claude AI Team plan for more than 1 year already:

- we are a normal company, doing normal business, nothing critical

- all our bills are paid and we can see them as paid

- nontheless, the service is not available for more than one week to us

Question:

- any other idea to reach out to them than their "Fin AI Chatbot" at support@anthropic.com?

- did anybody else had the same experience? If yes, what helped to solve it?

Its really frustrating :-(

(especially since some people built their interal workflow around Claude, now they are somehow stuck)
