I’m curious to hear more about phone-local assistants. I rather assumed only the latest hardware ( iPhone 15+, not sure on Android side) could do local inference. Is there a way to get something going on hardware a couple years old?
preemptively adding for us AMD users - it’s pretty seamless to get Ollama working with rocm, and if you have a card that’s a bit below the waterline (lowest supported is a 6800xt, i bought a 6750xt), you can use a community patch that will enable it for your card anyway:
I specifically recommend the method where you grab the patched rocblas.dll for your card model, and replace the one that Ollama is using, as someone who is technical but isn’t proficient with building from source (yet!)
