Run real language models on Apple Silicon, fully on-device. No cloud, no account, no monthly bill. Free and open source.
Your M-series Mac shares one pool of memory between the CPU and the GPU, so a model can use almost all of your RAM as if it were a graphics card. That hardware sits idle most of the day while you pay 20 dollars a month to send your prompts to someone else's server. Off Grid AI Desktop is a free, open-source app that runs language models directly on your Mac.
