I made AnimeGen, app that allows you to run Anima on your mobile phone. Since last post I added hd image generation, and different aspect ratios. The app is now available on the App Store: https://app

Disclosure: I made this. Sharing it here because it is fully local and small, and I want feedback from people who run models on their own machines. What it is: a 395M decision model (ModernBERT-large

On my M5 Pro 64GB I can comfortably work in an agentic setup with the Qwen3.8 27B model in good quality (Unsloth UD-Q4_K_XL) at a decent speed of 50 t/s. Splash combines optimized kernels, excellent s
