# Off Grid AI

Off Grid AI is private AI for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. Large language models and image generation run on hardware the user owns, with no cloud dependency or account. The core apps are free and open source.

## What it does

- Run LLMs locally: Llama, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, and others download once and run entirely on-device
- Generate images with Stable Diffusion without a cloud GPU
- Connect to remote Ollama or LM Studio servers over a local network or VPN
- Works in airplane mode, on restricted networks, in any country
- Runs on phones and computers: stable builds for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows; optional nightly pre-releases for macOS and Windows

## Who it's for

- Privacy-conscious users who don't want AI providers logging their conversations
- Developers who want to prototype with local models without API costs
- People in areas with unreliable internet who still want AI assistance
- Anyone who wants to own their AI stack end-to-end

## Why it matters

Cloud AI providers have routine access to every query sent to their models. Off Grid AI eliminates that by keeping inference entirely on the user's device. The model runs in the phone's RAM. Nothing is transmitted.
