Enclave on iOS does the trick for the rare times i need a local LLM

You can use it in termux

it does if you make it work in those conditions.

software that "phones home" is easy to fool.

Didn't know about this. Checking it out now, thanks!

Has this actually been done? If so, I assume it would only be able to use the CPU

Duck.ai doesn't data mine, and has o3 mini which I have found to be very good. Its got some extra functionality like lines to break up text.

Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don't even need to login to use it.

Yeah I have it in termux. Ollama is in the package repos for termux. The speed it generates does feel like cpu speed but idk

Just firewall the software or is there anything more fancy i would need to do?

Nice! I saw Mozilla also added an ai chat in the browser recently (not in the phone version that I have seen tho).

It is too bad duck.ai only runs the small models. Gpt4o-mini is not very good, it can be very inaccurate and very inconsistent
I would like to see the 4.1-mini instead, faster and better and got function calling, so it can do web searches for example. O3 can't so it can only know what it knows until 2023.

But thanks for the information I will be looking out for when 4.1 is added!

So trust them. If you don't and want to use this, buy a separate device for it, or VM.

Can't? This is not for you.

I won't gonna use my smartphone as a local llm machine.

Is there any useful model you can run on a phone?

Try PocketPal instead

Llama.cpp (on which ollama runs on) can. And many chat programs for phones can use it.

How is Ollama compared to GPT models? I used the paid tier for work and I'm curious how this stacks up.

typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.

use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.

this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).

takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it's pretty easy since most software "phone homes" are looking for static non-encrypted responses.

It's decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It's not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.

You never heard of ollama or docker model runner?

I've been using duck.ai recently myself and quite like it. My only complaint with it is that the chats have a length limit, so if you're working on complex projects you can run into those limits pretty quick. I use it for worldbuilding for a novel I'm working on and I have to use chatgpt for thematic stuff because it has a better memory, but otherwise it's great for quick/small things.
