I spent some time getting Gemma4-e4b working via llamacpp on iPhone and I'm really impressed so far! I posted a short video of an example application on LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7446746... (or x: https://x.com/danielrmay/status/2040971117419192553)

oh and i regret all the duping glitches i found and exposed and stuff im sorry

That's the business model.
