   This is why I've moved to native fetch for most projects. The fewer dependencies in the chain, the smaller the attack surface. For API clients especially, fetch + a thin wrapper is usually enough.

   Nice setup. Running models locally on Mac hardware has gotten surprisingly viable. I'm using a similar stack in Switzerland for testing AI agent workflows — the M-series chips handle inference well for tool-calling tasks.

   Interesting approach. I've been building MCP tools for AI agents recently and the local-first model makes a lot of sense for privacy-sensitive use cases. Does Apfel support MCP tool calling?
