Reviews of MLC Chat

Doesn’t work on older phones

This only works on newer phones with a lot of VRAM. I tried downloading each model and it failed with a message that my iPhone 11 Pro doesn’t have enough VRAM. Even the smallest model, qwen, requires >2.8 GB.
And there doesn’t seem to be any way to find out how much VRAM your phone has. Google search doesn’t know, and I downloaded the app Mactracker, which gives all sorts of details about your phone configuration, but it doesn’t know about VRAM. It would be nice if the developer could provide some information about which phones are compatible.
