FAQ

What is Private LLM?

Private LLM is a private AI chatbot designed for privacy, convenience, and creativity. It operates entirely offline on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, ensuring your data stays secure and confidential. It's a one-time purchase on the App Store, allowing unlimited access without subscription fees.

How does Private LLM compare to other local AI solutions like Ollama and LM Studio?

Private LLM differentiates itself through advanced OmniQuant and GPTQ quantization techniques for superior performance and accuracy, unlike the naive RTN quantization used by competitors. It also isn't based on llama.cpp or MLX, allowing for advanced features like attention sinks and sliding window attention, and offers deep Apple ecosystem integration.

What devices can run Private LLM and what are the recommended specifications?

Private LLM runs on iPhones (iPhone 12 or newer recommended, iPhone 15 Pro or newer for best experience), iPads (iPad Pro with 16GB RAM ideal), and Apple Silicon Macs (8GB RAM for basic, 32GB+ for larger models). While it can be installed on older devices, optimal performance requires more RAM.

Why is Private LLM not free?

Private LLM is a bootstrapped product by two developers, free from VC funding. The one-time purchase model allows them to focus on product quality, advanced model quantization (which is resource-intensive), and maintaining strict privacy without pressure to surveil or monetize users.

Can Private LLM access the internet or real-time data?

Absolutely not. Private LLM operates solely offline without any internet access for its functions or accessing real-time data. An internet connection is only required for downloading updates or new models, during which no personal data is collected or transmitted. Apple Shortcuts can be used as a workaround for real-time data integration.

Use Cases
  • Apple users who prioritize data privacy and offline AI functionality.
  • Individuals seeking a high-performance local AI chatbot for creative and productivity tasks.
  • Developers and tech-savvy users who want to leverage Apple Shortcuts for AI-driven workflows.
