Frequently asked questions
Qwen 2.5 32B is too large for current iPhones. It runs on Mac with enough unified memory inside Private LLM, fully offline.
Yes. Qwen 2.5 32B runs on Macs with enough unified memory, such as Mac (Apple Silicon, 192GB), MacBook Pro (M4 Max, 128GB), Mac Studio / Pro (Apple Silicon, 96GB), MacBook Pro (M4 Max, 64GB), MacBook Pro (M4 Max, 48GB), MacBook Pro (M4 Max, 36GB), Mac (Apple Silicon, 32GB), MacBook Air (M4, 24GB), fully on-device in Private LLM.
Yes. Once downloaded in Private LLM, Qwen 2.5 32B runs 100% on-device — no internet connection, and nothing is sent to any server.
Private LLM is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no per-message cost. The models themselves are open source — once downloaded, they run offline with nothing to pay per use.
Why run Qwen 2.5 32B 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 Qwen 2.5 32B 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 Qwen 2.5 32B's Hugging Face model card, released under the Apache 2.0 license. Private LLM ships its own quantized models, built with GPTQ-Int4 quantization tuned per model, and isn't affiliated with the model's authors.
