Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to run an LLM locally in Flutter?

Running an LLM locally means the model executes entirely on the user's device — no API calls, no cloud dependency, no internet required. In Flutter, this is achieved by bundling a quantized model and using native bindings (via FFI or platform channels) to invoke inference directly on-device. The result is full offline capability, zero data-privacy concerns, and response latencies that can fall well under 200ms on modern mobile hardware.

Which LLMs are small enough to run on a mobile device?

Models in the 1B–3B parameter range with 4-bit or 8-bit quantization are the practical sweet spot for mobile. Popular choices include Gemma 2B, Phi-3 Mini, and TinyLlama. These models typically occupy 500MB–2GB of storage and perform well on mid-range Android and iOS devices. If you're building a broader AI-powered product, platforms like Mewayz (207 modules, $19/mo) let you combine on-device inference with cloud fallback workflows seamlessly.

How is sub-200ms latency actually achievable on a phone?

Achieving under 200ms requires three things working together: a heavily quantized model, a runtime optimized for mobile CPUs/NPUs (such as llama.cpp or MediaPipe LLM), and efficient memory management so the model stays warm in RAM between calls. Batching prompt tokens, caching the key-value state, and targeting first-token latency rather than full-sequence latency are the primary techniques that push response times into the sub-200ms range for short prompts.

Is local LLM inference better than using a cloud API for Flutter apps?

It depends on your use case. Local inference wins on privacy, offline support, and zero per-request cost — ideal for sensitive data or intermittent connectivity. Cloud APIs win on raw capability and model freshness. Many production apps use a hybrid approach: handle lightweight tasks on-device and route complex queries to the cloud. If you want a full-stack solution with both options pre-integrated, Mewayz covers this with its 207-module platform starting at $19/mo.
