👋 Welcome to Squish Discussions

Welcome to the community around Squish — a fast, local-first AI compression and optimization engine.

Squish is built for developers who care about:

• ⚡ Sub-second LLM load times
• 🧠 Efficient inference
• 🔌 Drop-in OpenAI / Ollama compatibility
• 🖥 Fully local execution
• 🔒 No cloud. No API keys. No data leaving your machine.

This Discussions space is where we collaborate on making local AI faster, leaner, and more practical.
