I stopped paying for ChatGPT after I installed this free local model on my phone

- I run Gemma 4 locally on my iPhone 15 Pro Max
My phone out-AI’d my MacBook - Gemma 4 handles the basics better than you’d expect
Most of my questions never needed a supercomputer - Gemma 4 often beats the cloud when my connection doesn’t
It can’t lag if it never leaves the phone - The privacy element is a nice bonus on top
I didn’t switch for privacy, but I’ll take it - I still use cloud models, just not on my phone
Still cheating with Claude when it counts
