If you were running a LLM locally on android through llama.cpp for use as a private personal assistant. What model would you use?

Thanks for any recommendations in advance.

Running an llm on a phone will absolutely destroy your battery life. It also is imperative that you understand that the comfort of ai is bought with killing of innocents (through expediency of climate catastrophe, exploitation of the planet and the poorest on it).

I think using ai to experiment on a home server which already exists wouldnt be problematic IN A VACUUM but you would still normalize using the tech which is morally corrupt.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I've been reading "Atlas of AI" by Kate Crawford and you're right. So much of the data that they're trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it's probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn't a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it's worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
