New Free Privacy Focused Android App Allows a Record Breaking 70 Billion Parameter AI Model to Run Entirely Offline on High-End Android Devices - USA Today
An independent British software house has launched a free Android application called LiberaGPT, which it claims can run a 70-billion parameter language model entirely offline on high-end Android devices. The company describes the achievement as a record for on-device AI, as such large models typically require cloud-based servers.
According to the press release published via USA Today, the app is privacy-focused and does not require an internet connection to process queries. It is designed for high-end smartphones, though specific device requirements were not detailed. The software house, whose name is not widely recognized in the industry, has made the app available at no cost.
Running a 70-billion parameter model on a mobile device presents significant technical challenges, including computational power and energy consumption. This release suggests progress in on-device AI capabilities, though practical performance—including response speed and battery impact—remains to be independently verified. The app represents the latest effort to bring large language models to consumer devices without relying on internet connectivity.
