🧠 Utility AI & State Engine

Byte's behavior emerges dynamically from internal state variables (energy, mood, curiosity). The native Swift tick-based engine evaluates these states to choose actions organically.

🗣️ On-Device LLM & Empathy Fine-Tuning

Zero network dependency for ambient behaviors. Fine-tuned on 45,000+ open-source empathetic dialogue pairs using Apple Silicon MLX GPU acceleration for local byte-llm context deduction.

🎮 3D Physics & Workspace Awareness

Built on SceneKit with a custom physics engine. Byte walks along window frames and macOS Dock, interacts with active windows via Accessibility APIs, and reacts to weather and ambient events.
