Inference happens on your device, so your R1 1776 Distill Llama 70B 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](/en/faq#Why-can-t-Private-LLM-load-models-directly-from-Hugging-Face). ### More from Numen [![Slop or Not app icon](/app-icons/slop-or-not.png) #### Slop or Not Catch AI-written text on iPhone and Mac.
