TinyPNG (by Tinify) is a free image optimization service built for developers and designers. It utilizes smart lossy compression to reduce the file sizes of JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF files by up to 80% with no visible quality loss. That means faster load times, better SEO, and lower bandwidth.
You can compress, convert, and resize images via a clean web interface or integrate it into your workflow with the API. The platform also provides an image CDN for fast global delivery of optimized assets. SDKs are available for Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, Ruby, and .NET. WordPress plugin included, plus plenty of community-driven integrations.
No tuning, no noise, Tinify just works. Whether you're optimizing a handful of images or processing millions, it scales effortlessly. All plans include a generous free tier, and support is quick when you need it.

BaseRT
BaseRT offers a robust inference runtime for LLMs specifically optimized for Apple Silicon, allowing developers to seamlessly access models from Hugging Face, engage in local conversations, or utilize an API compatible with OpenAI through a single command-line interface. Enhanced by meticulously crafted Metal kernels, BaseRT aims to provide exceptional prefill and decoding efficiency on M-series Macs, with benchmark results indicating it performs up to 6.4 times faster in prefill tasks compared to llama.cpp, 3.9 times faster than MLX, and achieves a decoding speed that is 1.33 times quicker. The basert CLI is equipped to manage tasks such as model downloading, conversion, interactive chat, serving capabilities, completion generation, benchmarking, inspection, and bundle signing. Its server functionalities are extensive, encompassing chat interactions, text completions, embeddings, transcription services, tool calls, continuous batching, paged key-value caching, and prefix caching, with support for models that can handle text, vision, and audio data. BaseRT employs a proprietary .base model format that incorporates Q2–Q8 affine quantization, optional AWQ calibration, and signed bundles, and it is capable of converting GGUF, Hugging Face, and MLX checkpoints. Furthermore, this innovative runtime is tailored to maximize the capabilities of Apple Silicon, making it an essential tool for developers in the AI space.

Wafer
Wafer is revolutionizing enterprise AI by offering the quickest open-source LLMs, enabling serverless and dedicated inference designed specifically for production workloads. With its serverless inference, teams can utilize top-tier open models without the burden of infrastructure and deployment challenges, providing rapid APIs that include GLM-5.2-Fast for reduced latency through EAGLE speculative decoding and a guaranteed throughput SLA, alongside GLM-5.2, which serves as a flagship model boasting enhanced coding and reasoning abilities. Wafer's innovative technology employs agents to optimize inference throughout the stack, pinpointing and addressing bottlenecks in orchestration, algorithms, serving engines, GPU kernels, and various hardware setups. This system meticulously profiles the stack to determine whether latency or throughput issues arise from factors such as scheduling, decoding, kernels, memory pressure, or hardware compatibility, and then it explores numerous paths to deliver the most effective solution. Rather than depending on a singular switch or heuristic, Wafer undertakes a comprehensive search of combinations involving models, engines, kernels, and hardware to maximize performance. By continually refining these combinations, Wafer ensures that enterprises can operate at peak efficiency while leveraging the best of open-source technologies.
