Private LLM is a better alternative to generic llama.cpp and MLX wrappers apps like Enchanted, Ollama, LLM Farm, LM Studio, Locally AI, RecurseChat, etc on three fronts: 1. Private LLM uses a faster and highly-optimized mlc-llm based inference engine. 2. Models in Private LLM are quantized using the state of the art quantization algorithms like OmniQuant, while competing apps use naive round-to-nearest quantization. 3. Private LLM is a fully native app built using C++, Metal and Swift with deep integrations with iOS and iPadOS, while many of the competing apps are bloated and non-native Electron or Flutter based apps. Please note that Private LLM only supports inference with text based LLMs. Model support varies by device capabilities.

User Reviews
Don’t bother with this app unless you want to experience the absolute worst of what AI has to offer. I can’t believe I wasted money on this trash.
The genie has been out the bottle since GPT 1 & 2 were open source and it’s never going back in. This app has been very useful for times when I have no reception like when I went to Red Rock in Nevada with my wife’s family, hypothesized that the rocks were likely red due to the fact that iron rusts that color and the rock is most likely iron rich. I had zero reception but because this runs locally, I was able to confirm that was the reason and share that fun fact with everyone. It’s like having all human knowledge in your phone. That said, Dolphin specifically is totally dangerous with the right pre-prompt in the wrong hands. But I believe in freedom so I still deem it dope overall. 5 well deserved stars.
Add the download of models from the mobile network. Locally ai made a more convenient program.
This is pretty useless, I’d avoid it. It crashes constantly on an iPad Pro M5.
Add the download of models from the mobile network.
I was looking to connect to a local model hosted on my network with Llama.cpp. It does not support this. The app downloads models to the phone and runs them, which are limited.
I use daily on the train
I really wanted to like it but its just not worth it man. Its answers are worse than just guessing yourself or asking a friend. It just totally ignores my prompt and gives a vague answer for 5% of what i typed. Its a cool idea and i hope it gets better.
The app looks really good on the store page, bought it and it is very disappointing. It is a very barebones app, no conversation memory (you have to delete your conversation to have another one), and the downloading models stopped working. They would download to 38% and then hang up and the app would freeze if I clicked resume download or anything. Overall there are many better free apps that do the same thing as this app but better In every way. The best thing this app has going for it is that it has obliterated models of local llms, but again that’s assuming you can even download them.
Terrible frustrating experience. Very limited information, super basic, did not understand my questions, filled responses with cya legal language over and over instead of being efficient. I gave it feedback on how to respond but kept getting the same canned responses. I’m confused how a general AI assistant could work so poorly. Waste of $4.95!!!
All the models are incredibly dumb, when you download Gemini everything gets buggy and the app crashes, it's just a terrible app.
Waste of money. The models don’t work correctly and most of the time cannot keep up a coherent conversation for more the 2 prompts. My guy just devolved into slop. Not even English. Waste of my money in super angry
