If you were running a LLM locally on android through llama.cpp for use as a private personal assistant. What model would you use?

Thanks for any recommendations in advance.

I don't recommend it. I ran local AI in my phone before (iPhone but same difference), and just asking it stuff makes it warm up to touch. Battery also takes a hit.

It also messes up multitasking features since it uses up most memory which kills background apps. Phones weren't designed for this.

Best way is to host it in an actual dedicated machine that can be accessed remotely.
