We design in Figma. Build a design system out that with components for all our public facing products, demos and marketing assets. The website is built with the components, and we have a set of skills and tools to keep both in sync. We also use skills to sync between HuggingFace, our SDK on GitHub and the website. We write and review most our core copy by hand and use that to help expand into different pages. We prob do a write-up about this on our blog later.

We plan to make most our models available for Android and web too. Some are a bit harder to port to the different platforms and will take a bit longer to properly land on Android or web. Mostly sequencing (Voz, Clips, Title). Soon!

Just a few are iOS first (pure practical timing/sequencing). We plan to make all models available cross-platform in the coming weeks.

OCR on steroids. Our Schemer model will soon be available (free form text to structured JSON). Once that lands, we want to jump into image to JSON.

Thanks!

It's an ANE optimized version of Parakeet, with our own inference, which enabled us to push performance to about 300x realtime speed on an iPhone 16/17. Our next gen Voz model is trained from scratch and will be at least twice as fast. Android and other platforms will land soon.

We expanded our team and are working on improvements to React Native SDK, which was initially a side project from one of our engineers. We’re excited to support the library and get it to feature parity with our native iOS, Android, and Qt SDKs.

Disclaimer: I work with the mobile team at Mapbox.

We did. By a lot. A few months ago we implemented a new hibernation mode that suspends location services more aggressively when you're not active. This saves about 50-90% battery on an average day. The only downside of this approach is that we can't show the first 100-200m on a map when you start moving again. If you find that important, you could use the high accuracy option at the expense of a bit more battery impact. Try it!

Strava and Human are pretty different products, where Human tracks everyday activity, and Strava focuses on specific activities like running and cycling. We became pretty close with the Strava team over the years and were honored to count their leadership to our group of advisors. Being an avid Strava user myself, I'm excited to work with Strava in my new role at Mapbox.

We're looking forward to sharing what we learned about the health & fitness space, activity tracking, and mobile with all Mapbox customers.

Yes, that's how it works ;). Unfortunately I can't share anything about the deal terms.
