Locally AI adds Qwen 3.5 on iPhone
Locally AI launched a new update featuring Qwen 3.5 small models on iPhone and iPad, emphasizing local inference, privacy, and no-login usage. The release highlights vision support, hybrid reasoning controls, and multiple model sizes tuned for different Apple devices.
// ANALYSIS
This is a strong signal that serious on-device AI is moving from demo territory into practical mobile workflows for developers and power users.
- –Qwen 3.5 small model tiers (0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B) give users a real performance/quality tradeoff by device class.
- –Local-first execution removes cloud latency and keeps prompts and files on-device, which matters for privacy-sensitive use cases.
- –Vision plus reasoning toggle suggests the product is targeting more than chat, including lightweight multimodal task execution.
- –Positioning around Apple Silicon optimization reinforces a growing edge-AI stack separate from API-first workflows.
