Where to start

How to pick one.

  • Size

    18 of the 53 are under a gigabyte.

    The smallest is 112 MB and the largest is 3.11 GB. A bigger file generally answers better and generates more slowly, so on an older iPhone the small end is where to start.

  • Vision

    5 models read images.

    They answer questions about a photo or a screenshot, including the text inside one. Everything else in the catalog is text in, text out.

  • Downloads

    One download over Wi-Fi, then it stays.

    The file lives on your device from then on, and every answer is generated there, on the phone's CPU and GPU. Ordinary prompts are processed locally. Optional web search uses the network, as described in the privacy policy.

Start with one model.

Free, no account, and once a model is downloaded it answers with the radios off.
