Liquid AI
Application
Phone app that runs Liquid's own models locally on iOS and Android, used both as a private offline assistant and to compare LEAP models on a real device.
Desktop privacy layer that runs as a local proxy between a user and AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude and OpenRouter, detecting and redacting names, SSNs, credit card numbers and API keys in prompts on the device before they are sent.
Platform
Liquid AI's edge platform for finding, fine-tuning, bundling and deploying small models onto phones and embedded devices, shipped with an Edge SDK for integration.
Model API

Volcano Engine
Application
BytePlus's creative studio for image, video, audio, AI apps and an infinite canvas, running Seedream and Seedance models plus pre-built agents such as a music-video agent, sold on monthly plans to creators and enterprises producing content at volume.
Platform
Volcano Engine's enterprise cloud-native machine-learning platform for training and deploying models; the platform itself is free and customers pay only for the compute resources used.
Model API
BytePlus's hosted model platform: pay-per-token API access to ByteDance's Seed (Dola-Seed) language models and Seedance video, Seedream image and 3D generation models, alongside third-party models such as DeepSeek and GLM, with fine-tuning and a console.
No counterpart
Volcano Engine sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Liquid AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Agent platform
Volcano Engine's enterprise AI-agent infrastructure platform for building, deploying and running agents on its cloud, with the VeADK and AgentKit SDKs.
Volcano Engine's enterprise platform covering the whole agent lifecycle -- build, run, use and govern 'digital employees' -- with private deployment on the customer's own infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
Volcano Engine's security service that screens the inputs and outputs of LLM applications against prompt injection, abuse, compute abuse and sensitive-data leaks, with support for custom detection models.
