A model runs in RAM (the 16.0 GB here), not in storage. Storage (512 GB on this version) only keeps the downloaded files, and even the smallest size has room for several. Android lets one app hold only part of the RAM before it closes the app, so we plan around 9.9 GB; a model bigger than that won’t run. Phone apps such as PocketPal AI download a model once, then run it with no connection.
