Leave a Review Private LLM
Thank you - A Must Buy
In today's world of subscriptions and personal data living on devices that are not ours this is a refreshing app that I am happy to support.
App has been updated since I originally took the plunge (week it came out, randomly found on /r/macapps) several times, is super responsive and best of all 1x fee with local privacy.Show lesstwiglantern

Works well on all apple platforms, shortcuts work very well, tons of option and customizations including prompt, offline, very nice performance and constant updates. Dev is great and very responsive also thank you!bigelowdeuce

The growing list of the downloadable models and the new override prompt are great! Could we get more in app information about each model, maybe something that explains what each model is best at? I was also wondering about adding the ability to make override prompts presets linked to specific models. This would allow a user to make various custom assistants designed for specific tasks.Show lesscwilms

Dumb as rocks
Cannot simply justify the $9.99 price point when the LLM can’t even answer basic history questions correctly. That being said, for an offline version of what would be your standard Chat GPT, you can’t be that upset. Unless you’re someone who finds themself offline most of the time and MUST have an LLM to play with (which probably isn’t very many people) please stay away.Show lessquantum_t

You don't seem to mention what LLM you're using, and the app support over 17 different LLMs of varying sizes. The 7B LLMs in the app works quite well with basic history questions, but you'll need a Pro/Pro Max iPhone or an Apple Silicon iPad to use them. If you don't value your privacy and the offline functionality, this app isn't right for you and you're likely better served by the free version of ChatGPT.

The app seems more stable than the others I’ve tried. It would be good to see the ability to browse and add models from huggingface and to have RAG available document querying.s_mcleod
Too much good stuff to say
PrivateLLM rocks! First off the devs are cool and responsive but the best part is that it has shortcuts support so the sky’s the limit. Feed whatever data you can into it and it’s all offline and private.Bfc113
Greatly appreciated efforts by dev
When I first tried this app, it was a letdown - just one slow option and I wasn't impressed. But man, was I wrong! The developer has put in some serious hard work, pulling off a 'No Man’s Sky' style transformation. Now, it's packed with well performing models for whichever device you have presently, and honestly it’s become my go-to.
Also, I will always appreciate and recommend this app based on its privacy oriented USP alone - because finding apps that care about privacy (especially in a field so ripe for exploit) feels like panning for gold in a septic tank.
I’ve gone from regretting my purchase to relying on it daily. It’s versatile, reliable, and an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to work with LLMs privately. I've got to give a huge shoutout to the developers for their commitment to turning things around. Your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed, and I'm sincerely grateful for it.
Wishing you all the success in the future - you’ve got a fan in me! Had to update my review to give the devs a huge thumbs up for such an impressive turnaround!Show lessZenicero

Thanks for the updated review and staying with the app! This is just the beginning, and we've got many more updates with features and models lined up.Pretty great, but it has some limitations
The implementation here is great, especially now that the devs have added support for several models! Works best with devices with a lot of RAM - I have an iPhone 15 Pro, which seems to be enough, but my old 12 didn't really handle it well. I just wish you could save threads like in the ChatGPT app (and maybe give specific system instructions depending on the thread?). Otherwise, pretty good and worth the price!
Also, if we could save specific temperature and top-P presets with models and maybe be able to directly type values in, that would be nice.Show lessadora55
Cool app that keeps getting updated!
I've been using the app since it first came out and it keeps getting better and better. The developers just released a new version that allows you to switch between different models, which is really nice feature!HaxleRose
