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.
Really interesting app! Thank you!Just note that like in the various sample shortcuts, it’s best used at the end of your shortcut and then drop the result to the clipboard. I could never convince it to open another app afterwards and put the result in there directly.
Intriguing but
iPaddling
Writes excellent English and responds in roughly the same time as it would take to manually type the response. A long input, eg re-write this text (a whole web page), will often have no response at all.I don’t know how it manages to work offline but it seems to work in airplane mode.Generally the answers seem a bit limited and even more factually suspect than with ChatGPT and it will often insist on the same answer after being corrected. (The PM of NZ is Jacinda Ardern)I’m hoping that with Shortcuts support coming it could be good for writing prettier versions of rough text.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! The app currently contains a quantised 3B parameter decoder-only (aka GPT) LLM that runs on your device, and the app makes no network connections, whatsoever. This is how it works in Airplane mode, while apps like ChatGPT cannot. This is also the reason why the app is a fairly large download (1.6GB), even with data compression.The context length of the current model in the app is 2048 tokens or about 1500 words (a token roughly corresponds to ~0.75 words). The context length of an LLM model is the most amount of text that the model can attend to. For comparison, the baseline GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models that ChatGPT uses have context lengths of 4096 and 8192 tokens, respectively. In some ways it isn't a fair comparison, because the former (our app) is an app runs on your iPhone, while the other needs multiple large servers, and an active internet connection from your phone to those servers, to run. Anyway, improvements to the context length within the realm of possibilities and an active area of research. I can't promise anything but we might be able to increase the context length by a bit, soon. We're also experimenting with newer, larger models which have longer context lengths; although, they'll only work on newer iPhones and iPads.WRT the model's factual knowledge, since the app doesn't connect to the internet, its knowledge is limited to what the model's training data contained. Incidentally, I asked ChatGPT (3.5) the same question question, and it came up with the same incorrect response that you noted.Shortcuts integration will indeed ship later this week, we hope you'll like it!
