iPhone App?
Hello there, I am a non-programmer but am interested in using Apertus since I really appreciate the quality and ethics of the model.
I would like to ask what would it take to get Apertus running on an iPhone so that I can use it on the go?
Thank you from a big fan.
Apertus is an R&D project, currently there are no plans to develop an app - but I know that such projects exist in our community. And even non-programmers can sketch / vibe code an app these days, so give it a go, and let us know if you do!
As a quick lifehack, I have a "home screen icon" bookmark to https://chat.publicai.co -- a quick and easy to way to interact with Apertus. If you want to use the model offline, stay tuned: smaller quantizations should become available soon.
Thank you so much for this update, I had no idea about PublicAI.co- and I might give a go at a vibe app.
you might also be able to run the MLX version on iphone potentially. some model quantizations for MLO are available here https://huggingface.co/models?other=base_model:quantized:swiss-ai/Apertus-8B-Instruct-2509
maybe easy to vibe code an app
