How to run an LLM on Android
Three steps. The model download takes the longest.
Get it on Google Play
The app is free and works on Android 7.0 and up. There is no account and nothing to sign up for.
Pick a model
Choose one inside the app. It downloads once and stays on your phone. Each model takes 1GB to 4GB.
Turn the network off
The model runs on the phone itself. It keeps answering in airplane mode, on the metro and anywhere with no signal.
Works offline, stays private
The model file sits in your phone storage. The phone does the work, so nothing is sent anywhere.
No signal, no problem
On a plane, on the metro, in a basement. You need the network once, for the model download, and never again.
Nothing leaves the phone
Your messages stay in the app. There is no account, no server and nothing saved in a cloud.
What your phone needs
Android 7.0 or newer. It works best with 6GB of RAM or more, and each model takes 1GB to 4GB of storage.
