Could you build this?
Partial A basic wrapper around an on-device model runner like llama.cpp is feasible, but compiling, quantizing, and optimizing small LLMs to run efficiently within mobile thermal and memory budgets is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The app requires native mobile development (Swift/Kotlin) embedding a quantized inference engine such as llama.cpp, MLC-LLM, or Apple's MLX/CoreML to execute models like Llama-3-1B or Gemma-2B directly on device NPU/GPU. The technical challenge is managing strict OS memory limits (jetsam kills on iOS), battery drain, thermal throttling, and implementing local vector storage (e.g., SQLite with sqlite-vec) without cloud fallbacks.
