Cactus Compute releases 22 MB on-device vision model Mirage
Cactus Compute released Mirage, a 51.3M-parameter vision model with a 22 MB weights file for phones, wearables, robots and other consumer devices. The vendor says it performs scene description, object detection, OCR, segmentation, spatial-relation analysis and decision-making in one pass, with end-to-end measurements of 74 ms on a Samsung Galaxy S26 NPU and 107 ms on its CPU. Its HConvGLU encoder shares image features between detection and mask generation, while Simple Attention and Hadamard MLP components support the decoder.
Mirage offers a compact, locally deployable vision system that could provide text-only LLMs with structured image observations without fine-tuning, although its capabilities and speed remain vendor-reported.
