Six models suited for on-device deployment are reviewed: Qwen 3-1.7B, Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3, Whisper Tiny, DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B, LLaMA 3.2-1B, and Phi 4 Mini Instruct — each with parameter counts and storage sizes. Software Mansion's Private Mind app lets users test these models offline, and their React Native ExecuTorch library enables developers to integrate local AI into React Native apps without deep ML expertise. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
