Read full description

KitLLM turns your phone or tablet into a private AI assistant. Import a GGUF model from your files or browse the public Hugging Face catalog, load it locally, and chat without sending your conversations to the cloud. Key features include GGUF import and validation, compatibility estimation, resumable downloads, fully local conversations, instant generation stop, and device diagnostics. Performance, memory requirements, and response quality depend on both the selected model and your device. Models are provided by their respective authors and may be subject to their own licenses.
