### 5/5 — Import and auto convert and add bonsai llm 1bit

*2026-06-12*

Hey this app is nice but please add an import auto convert other models so like if I want to add zimage it will automatically convert the model to 1bit  and please add bonsai llm prompt enhancer feature we could add are own custom system prompt and make it where it save memory by unloading the llm out of ram for people that have 3 to 6 gb ram. This feature would be cool😎

### 1/5 — Taugt nichts

*2026-06-01*

Hört nicht richtig zu, und hat heftige Zensur-Filter. Nicht zu gebrauchen

### 5/5 — Really awesome technology

*2026-05-29*

People might compare some of the image generations, two frontier model models, which really isn’t fair, what is amazing is completely local image generation on an iPhone that is actually pretty good and pretty much as fast as frontier models if you consider the fact that they have to go to somebody else’s server get rate limited get checked if the corporation is even going to allow you to generate that image. I’m getting most images generated within 10 seconds, can’t wait to see where this technology leads for local AI.

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2026-05-29*

It’s crazy to be moderated when it’s running on my own device😂
