## What is Personal LLM?

Chat with AI that never shares your data. Personal LLM runs entirely on your phone — no internet needed after setup, no account, no subscription, complete privacy.

YOUR AI, YOUR DEVICE, YOUR PRIVACY
Unlike cloud AI services, everything happens on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone — not to our servers (we don't have any), not anywhere.

WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE
Download a model once, then chat anytime, anywhere:
• On flights with no WiFi
• In areas with poor connectivity
• When you want guaranteed privacy
• Without monthly subscription costs

THE LATEST OPEN-WEIGHT MODELS
• Qwen 3.5 (0.8B, 4B, 9B) — fast, smart, and multilingual
• Google Gemma 4 (E2B, E4B) — efficient quality on everyday phones
• GLM 4.6V Flash — flagship-class vision for high-end devices
• Ministral 3 — compact European model
• Add your own: load any GGUF model by URL (Hugging Face links work)

UNDERSTANDS IMAGES TOO
Every model in the catalog supports vision. Snap a photo or pick one from your gallery and ask about it — describe scenes, read documents, identify objects, translate signs.

WATCH IT THINK
Enable thinking mode on reasoning models and see the AI's step-by-step reasoning in a collapsible section before the final answer.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Write, edit, and proofread text
• Explain complex topics simply
• Brainstorm ideas and creative projects
• Write and debug code
• Analyze photos and documents (vision)
• Translate between languages
• Have the answer read aloud (on-device TTS)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Conversations never leave your device
• No account required
• Works without internet after setup
• Export and import your own backups — your data is yours

BUILT FOR PHONES
• GPU acceleration (Metal on iOS, OpenCL on Snapdragon Adreno)
• Live tokens/sec readout on every response
• Device-fit badges tell you which models your phone can run
• Resumable model downloads
• Light and dark themes

FREE FOREVER
No subscriptions, no paywalls on core features. Download models once and chat forever.
