💡 Explanation in a nutshell
#

Off Grid runs AI models directly on the phone’s processor, without sending anything to external servers. It uses llama.cpp for text, Stable Diffusion for images, and Whisper for voice. It’s not magic: modern small models (1B–7B parameters with quantization) already fit on mobile devices and work reasonably well for everyday tasks.
