Liquid AI Launches LEAP and Apollo: A New Era for Edge AI Deployment Begins
15.7.2025 15:00:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
Liquid AI, the foundation model company setting new standards for performance and efficiency, today announced the launch of their early-stage developer platform called Liquid Edge-AI Platform (LEAP) v0 for building and deploying AI on devices such as smartphones, laptops, wearables, drones, cars, and other local hardware – without cloud infrastructure. The company also introduced Apollo, an updated, lightweight, iOS-native application powered by LEAP that offers an interactive interface for experiencing private AI with Liquid’s latest breakthrough models.
“Our research shows developers are frustrated by the complexity, feasibility, and privacy trade-offs of current edge AI solutions,” said Ramin Hasani, co-founder and CEO of Liquid AI. “LEAP is our answer—a deployment platform designed from the ground up to make powerful, efficient, and private edge AI easy and accessible. We’re also excited to give users the ability to test our new groundbreaking models through the iOS-native app Apollo.”
LEAP v0 represents a breakthrough for edge AI, pairing a small language model (SLM) library with a developer-first interface and platform-agnostic toolchain. LEAP allows developers to deploy foundation models directly in their Android and iOS applications in 10 lines of code. Liquid AI’s goal with the new platform is to make it easy for AI novices and full-stack app developers, not just inference engineers or AI experts, to deploy local models.
To provide the true experience of private and on-device AI, Liquid has acquired Apollo designed by Aaron Ng, and has substantially evolved it into an interactive interface to utilize, vibe-check, and pair small foundation models for private use-cases of AI. Apollo provides private, secure, low-latency AI interactions fully on-device, demonstrating what’s possible when enterprises and developers aren’t constrained by internet access, cloud requirements, or bulky models.
Among other open-source SLMs, both LEAP and Apollo now include access to Liquid AI’s next-generation Liquid Foundation Models (LFM2), open-source small foundation models announced just last week that set new records in speed, energy efficiency, and instruction-following performance in the edge model class. The integration makes these high-performance models immediately available for developers to test and build edge-native AI applications.
LFM2 is designed based on Liquid AI’s first-principles approach to model design. Unlike traditional transformer-based models, LFM2 is composed of structured, adaptive operators that allow for more efficient training, faster inference, and better generalization, especially in long-context or resource-constrained scenarios.
LEAP is available starting today at leap.liquid.ai and Apollo can be downloaded from the iOS App Store here with Android coming in the next few weeks.

inDrive and Pony.ai Announce Collaboration to Explore Autonomous Mobility in Kazakhstan Built on NVIDIA Hyperion23.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
inDrive, the global mobility and delivery platform, today announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with NVIDIA and Pony.ai, a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology, to explore the future of autonomous ride-hailing. Kazakhstan will serve as the first test market. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261023143469/en/ inDrive partners with Pony.ai and NVIDIA to explore autonomous mobility in Kazakhstan Kazakhstan was chosen first for its regulatory readiness following the creation of the country’s first structured legal framework for driverless transport, as part of its “Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence.” Combined with Kazakhstan’s position as a leading Central Asian economy, this gives the companies a clear basis to assess autonomous ride-hailing in practice. The three companies will evaluate the technical, operational, regulatory and
Brenus Pharma's Novel In Vivo Immunotherapy STC-1010 Shows Safety, Activating T Cells in First-Line MSS Metastatic Colorectal Cancers With 2 Complete Responses.23.10.2026 14:50:00 CEST | Press Release
Brenus Pharma, a clinical-stage biotech company, announced first data from the Phase Ia dose escalation of BreAK CRC-001. Nine unresectable patients were treated; 89% had liver metastases and 89% KRAS-mutant tumors, a population refractory to immunotherapy. Median follow-up: 8 months (1–14; data cut-off 6/08/2026). 95% of metastatic colorectal cancers are pMMR/MSS tumors, poorly immunogenic and resistant to immunotherapy. STC-1010, the company’s lead in vivo DC-engager, is designed to make these “cold” tumors visible to immune cells. Safety: no dose-limiting toxicity, only grade 1–2 related adverse events. Clinical activity (seven evaluable patients, RECIST 1.1): 100% disease control, 57% objective response rate (4/7). 43% of patients became operable (3/7): two with no evidence of disease afterward. Molecular profile: ctDNA dropped by up to 97% within two months, TP53 and KRAS mutations near undetectable. Immune activity (first six patients): STC-1010 regimen nearly quadrupled cytotoxi
Takeda Announces Arcotatug Tavatecan (TAK-921) Demonstrated Statistically Significant and Clinically Meaningful Improvements in Overall Survival and Progression-Free Survival in Phase 3 Advanced Gastric Cancer Study23.10.2026 13:30:00 CEST | Press Release
Takeda(TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK)announced positive results from the Phase 3 G-HOPE-001 study (NCT06238843) of arcotatug tavatecan (TAK-921; Innovent R&D code: IBI343) in patients with Claudin (CLDN)18.2-positive, previously treated, advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEJA). Results from two prespecified interim analyses, which were shared in a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, showed the study met its dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and outcomes are particularly poor once the disease is advanced.1 Because treatment options are limited for people whose cancer continues to progress after multiple therapies, there is a significant need for new targeted therapies.2 CLDN18.2, a protein found at abnormally high levels on the surface of certain cancer cells, has emerged as a key biomarke
