Details
The article discusses how you can run powerful AI models like Qwen 3.5 9B, which outperforms OpenAI's GPT-OSS-120B, directly on your local computer using LM Studio. This allows you to access these models without relying on cloud services or paying monthly subscriptions. The key is to set up LM Studio to 'Serve on Local Network', which makes the models accessible to other devices on your WiFi. The Off Grid app then automatically discovers these local LM Studio instances, letting you use the models from your phone. This provides the quality of a desktop model with the convenience of a mobile app, and also allows you to switch between local and on-device models seamlessly. The article highlights use cases where the larger local models excel, such as long document analysis, code review, and multilingual work.
