It performs well on conversation benchmarks, often matching or beating much larger models. The model is designed for generating detailed text responses but may produce unsafe outputs since it lacks built-in safety filters. ## Which of your devices can run it ### iPhone iPhone 17 Pro MaxiPhone 17 ProiPhone AiriPhone 17iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro MaxiPhone 16 / 16 PlusiPhone 16eiPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro MaxiPhone 15 / 15 PlusiPhone 14 / 14 Plus / 14 Pro / 14 Pro MaxiPhone 13 Pro / 13 Pro MaxiPhone 13 / 13 miniiPhone SE (3rd gen)iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro MaxiPhone 12 / 12 miniiPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro MaxiPhone XS / XS Max ### iPad iPad Pro (M5, 16GB)iPad Pro (M5, 12GB)iPad Pro (M4, 16GB)iPad Pro (M4, 8GB)iPad Pro (M2, 16GB)iPad Pro (M2, 8GB)iPad Pro (M1, 16GB)iPad Pro (M1, 8GB)iPad Air (M4)iPad Air (M3)iPad Air (M2)iPad Air (M1)iPad Air (4th gen)iPad mini (A17 Pro)iPad mini (6th gen)iPad (A16)iPad (10th gen) Browse every model that fits [iPhone](/models/best-for-iphone) or [Mac](/models/best-for-mac). ## How to run Rocket 3B in Private LLM 1.

Yes. Rocket 3B runs on iPhone models with enough memory, such as iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 / 16 Plus, iPhone 16e, iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 / 15 Plus, iPhone 14 / 14 Plus / 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 / 13 mini, iPhone SE (3rd gen), iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 / 12 mini, iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS / XS Max, fully on-device in Private LLM — no internet connection required. - Can I run Rocket 3B on Mac? Rocket 3B runs on iPhone and iPad in Private LLM; a Mac is not required. - Does Rocket 3B work offline? Yes. Once downloaded in Private LLM, Rocket 3B runs 100% on-device — no internet connection, and nothing is sent to any server. - Is Rocket 3B free to use? 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 Rocket 3B in Private LLM Private LLM has run local AI on iPhone, iPad, and Mac since 2023, before Apple Intelligence existed. Inference happens on your device, so your Rocket 3B 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.
