A demonstration shows the iPhone 17 Pro running a 400B parameter LLM on-device, which would represent a dramatic leap in mobile AI inference capability. If accurate, this suggests Apple's next-generation hardware (likely with enhanced Neural Engine and memory bandwidth) can handle frontier-scale models locally. The article text was unavailable due to Twitter/X access issues, so details on quantization method, inference speed, or specific model identity are unknown.
