## Why run Synthia 13B 1.2 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 Synthia 13B 1.2 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).
