Qwen 3.5 Small dropped two days ago. I had it running on a mid-tier Android phone within hours.

It's great seeing the on-device AI community light up around this release. Off Grid brings it to Android: phones with 6GB RAM in the $200-300 range, ~8 tok/sec on the 2B model. Fully offline.

Text generation, vision AI, image gen, voice transcription, tool calling, document analysis — all on-device, nothing uploaded, ever. Works in airplane mode.

780+ GitHub stars. ~2,000 downloads across Android and iOS. Early days.
