Tried this for few minutes, and it makes my phone run hot. Whats the CPU/GPu intensive work this app is doing on the device? I thought all the queries are sent to the server and no on device processing.

It's using whisper to do speech to text, which is a non-trivial amount of on device processing. At least that's why I think it's heating up my phone, because that was the first thing I wanted to try.

Yeah I think these new models are going to burn through your battery like dried leaves, even if you have the very latest phones. I ran a reduced Vicuna on my 14 Pro and it heated up very quickly.

I haven’t tried speech to text earlier. To me with or without speech to text, my device heats up

Same, I tried Whisper and received a call right after and it was unusually hot.

Features that would be nice to have: A/B Testing, Global config keys so Enterprise customers can use them across projects.

Is there a size limit, do clients download changes or entire file?

Hi! Thanks so much for your comment! Could you expand a bit on what you'd like with A/B testing?

All of the values can be fetched across projects / clients, it's essentially a simple K:V store with broad libraries. For example, if you have a key "price" whose value is a number "100", you can call:

configly.get(price)

from all your clients (provided they are all using the same API KEY).

Today, clients download at the granularity of an entire key-value. So if you changed that price to "150", it'd fetch the entirety of "150" and not just the digit flip. Were you envisioning a case of storing a lot of data?

Today, our free service is capped at 100kb total. Was there a use case you had in mind?

A/B Testing for a K:V, key(“button-color”) = “red” for 10%, “green” for 90%

In a Enterprise, where there are multiple teams wanting to manage their own K:V store, having a global K:V is helpful. Also being able to refer to a project to refer to their K:V

if key(“price”) = “100” is set in Global and one of the projects is setting it again to a different val or same show a warning that you’re rewriting that.

Got it! For A/B testing, we have that on our roadmap, though I think you could implement a poor man's version like this:

K:V would be: testing_data: { exposure: 0.10, colors: ['green', 'red'], }

// on the client:

function getColor() {

configly.get('testing_data, function(data) { const roll = Math.random(); const index = roll > data['exposure'] ? 0 : 1; return data['colors'][index]; });

}

re: global K:V. We plan on introducing teams that would work exactly that way!

Thanks!
