      <description>&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.strathweb.com/2024/05/running-microsoft-phi-3-model-in-an-ios-app-with-rust&#34;&gt;recently&lt;/a&gt; wrote a blog post about using Rust to run Phi-3 model on iOS. The post received an overwhelmingly positive response, and I got a lot of questions about running Phi-3 using similar approach on other platforms, such as Android, Windows, macOS or Linux. Today, I&amp;rsquo;m excited to announce the project I have been working on recently - Strathweb Phi Engine, a cross-platform library for running Phi-3 (almost) anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Announcing Q# Bridge - a library bringing the Q# simulator and tools to C#, Swfit and Kotlin</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Over the past year, Q# and the QDK, have undergone &lt;a href=&#34;https://devblogs.microsoft.com/qsharp/announcing-v1-0-of-the-azure-quantum-development-kit/&#34;&gt;a massive transformation&lt;/a&gt;, with the entire toolchain moving to Rust - which resulted in a significant performance improvement, better portability of the toolchain and the ability to run Q# on a wide range of platforms. This was especially striking compared to the 0.x versions of the QDK, which was coupled to the .NET SDK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I would like to announce a new Q# ecosystem project called &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/qsharp-community/qsharp-bridge&#34;&gt;Q# Bridge&lt;/a&gt;, built under the Q# Community organization, which acts as a wrapper around the Q# simulator and tools, allowing you to easily use them from C#, Swift and Kotlin. The library is designed to be a lightweight wrapper around the Q# tooling, providing a simple API to interact with the Q# simulator and tools (such as resource estimation, QIR generation or circuit descriptions), without the need to write any Rust code or deal with marshaling or FFI directly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
