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.

Excellent, I will be sure not to use this, like all Google shit.

In a few years you won't be able to anyway

All the time I spent trying to get rid of gemini just to now download this. Am I stupid?

Android and iOS.

I wouldn't think so - it depends on your priorities.

The open source and offline nature of this without the pretenses of "Hey, we're gonna use every query you give as a data point to shove more products down your face" seems very appealing over Gemini. There's also that Gemini is constantly being shoved in our faces and preinstalled, whereas this is a completely optional download.

I'm just reaching the end game faster then.
