Open the model library and download a model (one-time, over Wi‑Fi recommended). 2. Start a chat—or attach an image with a vision-capable model. 3. Chat offline anytime after the model is installed. IMPORTANT NOTES • Model files are large; downloads use storage and are best on Wi‑Fi. • Performance depends on your iPhone model and free RAM; heavier models need newer, higher-memory devices. • EdgeAI is a client for on-device open models; it is not affiliated with Google, Alibaba, or other model publishers.
