How to Choose a Local AI Model for Your Phone
Learn how model size, storage, device hardware, and task requirements shape a practical local AI model choice.
Start with the task
Decide whether you need help with chat, drafts, documents, or files. The best choice is the model that fits the work you actually plan to do.
Consider device resources
Available memory, storage, and native runtime constrain what can run comfortably. Keep room for a model download and your workspace files.
Understand model size
Small, medium, and large models involve different resource tradeoffs. Larger does not automatically mean appropriate for every phone or task.
Manage your library
PocketBrain supports installing, switching, and removing supported models. Keep only the models that are useful for your current device and workflow.
