Open models

The open-source models worth running on your own machine. Switch between Mobile and Desktop, lightest to heaviest. List refreshes automatically every week.

Free to run locally

Open-weight models are free to download and run on your own hardware forever — no account, no API key, no per-use bill. This is the whole point of the app.

Also on the cloud (optional)

Many of these are also reachable as a hosted API via OpenRouter — often with a free tier, for when you're away from your machine. You never have to use it.

Models small enough to run on a phone (8–12 GB RAM) at Q4, lightest first. Each shows whether it runs on iOS, Android, or both. See install on phone for the apps to use.
