KernelAI adds Qwen 3.5 on iOS
KernelAI, the offline iPhone and iPad AI app, has added Qwen 3.5 support according to a Reddit update from the developer. The move strengthens its pitch as a privacy-first local LLM app with a broad catalog of open models running fully on-device.
Adding newer Qwen support matters less as a flashy launch than as proof KernelAI is keeping pace with the fast-moving open-model ecosystem on mobile.
- –KernelAI’s official site positions the app around 44 local models, so Qwen 3.5 looks like an incremental but meaningful expansion of that library rather than a standalone launch
- –For local AI users, fresh Qwen support is valuable because Qwen models are widely used for strong multilingual performance and efficient open-weight deployments
- –The bigger story is mobile distribution: getting more current open models onto iOS lowers the gap between desktop local-LLM experimentation and everyday phone use
