Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Excellent for local models running via OpenCode (github.com)

Buddy: an open source app that lets AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) use your Android phone

I've been building Buddy, a free, open source (Apache 2.0) Android app. You type or say what you want in a floating bubble, and an AI agent reads the screen, taps and types through your apps to do it.

Your choice of agent: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity or Grok, running inside the app (Alpine Linux via proot) on your own plan. OpenCode's free models need no account.

No root, adb or PC: it reads the screen and taps through the accessibility service.

Asks first: before anything is sent, posted, bought or deleted. It pauses when you touch the screen and never types passwords or payment details.

Builds apps: with Linux tools on, it builds real APKs on the phone. This week I drew a maze on a paper towel, took a photo, and it made it a tilt game. The first build crashed on launch; it found the bug and fixed it.

To be upfront:

What the agent reads on your screen goes to the AI service you pick.

It's early (2.2), tested most on a OnePlus 12 with Android 16.

It's not on Play (Google rejected the accessibility use), so it's an APK from GitHub releases, built by GitHub Actions from the source.

Happy to answer questions here.

Curious too. In my tests Qwen3 4B and 8B handled one-step requests but fumbled multi-step ones (tapped the wrong buttons, then said it worked). gpt-oss 20B did better but was inconsistent: one run got a 2-step task right, the next claimed a tool didn't exist. I haven't tried a 27B yet, and I don't know if it'll even run usably on my RTX 2060 Super (8 GB). If anyone runs one through Ollama or llama.cpp, I'd love to hear how it does.
