Could you build this?

Partial Building the vocabulary quiz UI is simple, but embedding and running an on-device local LLM performantly within mobile hardware limits requires specialized edge ML skills.

What it would actually take: Requires native iOS/Android or Flutter integrating an embedded inference engine like MLC-LLM, llama.cpp, or ExecuTorch using quantized small language models (e.g., Llama-3.2-1B or SmolLM). The hard part is tuning memory usage, latency, and thermal impact so the model can generate real-time feedback without crashing low-end devices or draining battery.
