Cactus

Cross-platform open-source framework for deploying LLMs, VLMs, Embedding, and other models locally in your apps.

Cactus is an open-source, cross-platform framework for running inference on smartphones and low-power devices, supporting any HuggingFace model (LLMs, VLMs, embeddings) with Flutter and React Native bindings. It enables local, private, offline deployment with optional cloud fallbacks and quantization down to 2-bit for efficiency.
