Local Gemma models achieve 2.5x speedup with LiteRT endpoint

A user has successfully integrated Google's Gemma 2B and 4B models into a local setup, achieving significantly faster performance than API-based models. This was accomplished by wrapping the LiteRT engine, designed for mobile use, into an OpenAI-compatible endpoint using a custom Python script. The setup also enables audio input capabilities, though currently limited by client support and CPU-bound processing. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for significant local inference speedups by leveraging specialized mobile runtimes.
