@bryan.thebuilder: Day 12/14 • can local AI replace Gemini? Apple Intelligence could always do multimodal prompts (text + images) BUT only in Apple's own apps. iOS 27 is the first time that developers can access these APIs, so I decided to put it to the test. Although the results weren't as good as my current Gemini (+ Luna) stack, they were pretty promising for something that's free, offline, and runs purely on my two year old iPhone 16 Pro. It's crazy how quickly local AI is advancing. a few years ago this would have been a state-of-the-art model and now it's running on something that fits in my pocket. I still think this model has a lot of potential so I'm excited to see what people do with it in iOS 27!
