HyperVL: How to Run Powerful Multimodal AI Smoothly on Your Phone Have you ever imagined having an assistant as smart as ChatGPT right on your smartphone—one that can not only chat with you but also “see” the photos in your gallery, understand screenshots, and even extract information from complex charts? The reality, however, has been harsh. Those powerful Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) typically require massive computational servers. Running them directly on edge devices like phones has seemed nearly impossible. The primary roadblock is the enormous computational load and memory consumption required to process high-resolution images. But recently, a new …
Exploring OpenPhone: How Lightweight Mobile Agentic Foundation Models Are Shaping the Future of AI Phones Featured Snippet Summary OpenPhone is an open-source 3B-parameter agentic foundation model designed for on-device smartphone interactions, addressing privacy, latency, and cost issues from cloud API reliance. Running entirely locally, it achieves performance comparable to 7B-9B models through advanced SFT+RL training, while a device-cloud collaboration framework reduces cloud calls by about 10%. In today’s smartphone world, we often run into frustrations with AI assistants: they constantly ping the cloud, raising privacy concerns, slowing responses, and racking up API costs. What if your phone could handle most …
