Why run Dolphin 3.0 Llama 3.1 8B in Private LLM
Private LLM has run local AI on iPhone, iPad, and Mac since 2023, well before Apple Intelligence, LM Studio, Ollama, etc. existed. Inference happens on your device, so your Dolphin 3.0 Llama 3.1 8B conversations never reach a server. The part most apps gloss over is quantization, and that is exactly where on-device quality is won or lost. Most llama.cpp and MLX wrappers ship the same off-the-shelf 4-bit RTN weights. Private LLM ships GPTQ and OmniQuant quantization, tuned per model, and our 3-bit OmniQuant models match or beat those 4-bit RTN builds on the same Apple Silicon. Run the same model both ways and you feel it in the first reply. See how our quantization works.
Specifications and summary come from Dolphin 3.0 Llama 3.1 8B's Hugging Face model card, released under the Llama 3.1 license. Private LLM ships its own quantized models, built with OmniQuant quantization tuned per model, and isn't affiliated with the model's authors.
