    My current phone has 12GB and quite frankly it’s amazing to have that much!

    I know 16GB seems ridiculous, but with LLMs gaining popularity, running one locally on a phone really needs at least 8GB, and 16GB would be much better.

    I think it’s just the way things are going.

      I don’t need an LLM on my phone, and most people don’t either. I mean, I’m not an AI addict, but also, these are battery powered devices!

      if I want to use an LLM on the go for some reason, I would either run that at home on a computer that was made for performance, or just use the duck.ai site because that’s just fine too.

      my phone has 6 GB, and that’s plenty. I have a ton of apps installed, and always running background services like Syncthing.
