Open-source app Private Mind adds on-device web search for LLMs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The open-source app Private Mind has integrated web search capabilities for its on-device LLM functionality on iOS and Android. This feature utilizes a 1.7B parameter model, Qwen 3, to process and cite information from web pages without relying on external search APIs or backend servers. The system works by parsing search results from browsers like DuckDuckGo, extracting key information chunks, and then using an on-device embedding model to select the most relevant snippets for the LLM to answer queries, with all processing remaining on the user's device.

IMPACT Enables on-device LLM web search, potentially reducing reliance on cloud services for mobile AI applications.
