Getting started
Set up AI chat before you go offline
Prepare LlamaBox while you have a connection: install the app, download or import a compatible model, and load it. Local text generation can then work without Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Models & memory
Choose a GGUF model for your Android task
Choose a compatible model around a task you can evaluate. Compare the same question across models and consider whether each one loads reliably on your phone.
Models & memory
Local AI: storage and RAM are different
A model file uses storage, while running it also needs working memory. A download that fits on your phone can still fail to load because of memory limits or model compatibility.
Prompts & settings
Give a local model a clear system prompt
Use LlamaBox's System Prompt setting to describe the task, tone and boundaries you want a model to follow. Test the instruction on a short task and review the result.
Prompts & settings
Tune generation settings one change at a time
LlamaBox exposes generation, sampling and context controls. Compare settings while keeping the prompt steady, and remember that larger context settings can require more memory.
Privacy
Understand local chat and network boundaries
LlamaBox runs compatible model inference locally and stores conversations on the device. Model downloads need internet, and the selected Android text-to-speech engine may also use the network.
Everyday use
Use a short passage for offline study practice
Paste a short passage into LlamaBox after loading a compatible model, then ask for practice questions. Compare generated explanations with your notes or textbook before relying on them.
Everyday use
Review a draft with local AI on Android
Paste a short draft, describe the intended reader and ask a compatible local model for a focused rewrite. Check names, numbers and meaning before using the result.
Getting started
