For instance, your iPhone already has a lot of power built-in. Here are 4 iPhone apps that let you run LLMs on iOS locally:
Apollo: a handy app that lets you run AI on your phone. It can run Llama 3 and closed models like GPT. It works with LM Studio and Ollama.
MindKeep: a nifty app that you can use to run AI locally on your phone. It gives you access to OpenAI, Claude, and DeepSeek. It works with MindKeep Desktop, LM Studio or Ollama for AI chats.
