Personal LLM Blog #
This blog covers private and offline AI on your phone: how local language models work, which ones fit your phone, and how to keep what you type to yourself. It’s written by the team behind Personal LLM, a free iPhone and Android app that runs open models such as Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4 on your phone’s own chip, with no account and no server. Download a model once and you can chat, ask about photos and documents, and keep going in airplane mode.
