Three ways into the story

What makes Noema worth covering now.

The Apple device becomes the AI computer

Noema runs compatible language models across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, bringing private AI to the devices people use every day.

A compact model built for local work

Noema 2B is a two-billion-parameter, Apache 2.0 model built on Qwen3.5-2B and tuned for capable, token-efficient use on personal hardware.

Cloud access is a choice, not a requirement

Core inference and documents can stay local and work offline. Search and remote endpoints remain available when a user deliberately chooses them.
