AI models run locally on Android smartphone

A user has successfully run large AI models, specifically Z Image Turbo++ and FLUX.2 Klein 4B, locally on an Android smartphone. While the generation process is slow, taking several minutes per image, the user finds it an interesting technical feat. The models were run using INT4 and INT8 quantization on a OnePlus 12 with 16GB RAM, utilizing OpenCL for GPU acceleration, as Vulkan currently encounters out-of-memory errors. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the feasibility of running advanced AI models on mobile devices, potentially enabling new on-device applications.
