What is Private LLM?

Private LLM is an offline AI chatbot application for Apple devices that runs large language models entirely on your device, with no data sent to external servers. It's built for users who want to use AI tools without compromising privacy or relying on internet connectivity. The app supports multiple open-source language models and uses quantization techniques to make these models run efficiently on iOS and macOS hardware. You can choose which models to install based on your device's capabilities, and everything processes locally. There's a one-time purchase model with no ongoing subscription fees. Notably, Private LLM integrates with Apple's ecosystem through Siri and Shortcuts, allowing you to incorporate AI capabilities into your existing workflows. This makes it practical for writing tasks, brainstorming, code generation, and similar text-based work where you want privacy and offline functionality.
