  • 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
