New developments in local LLM inference include BeeLlama.cpp, a fork of llama.cpp that significantly boosts performance and adds multimodal capabilities using techniques like DFlash and TurboQuant. Separately, the Qwen 3.6 35B model is demonstrating impressive speed and context handling, achieving 80 tokens per second with 128K context on consumer GPUs with only 12GB of VRAM. Additionally, an open-source iOS app called Priv AI has been released, allowing users to run various LLMs locally on their iPhones using llama.cpp and offering integration with HealthKit for privacy-focused insights.
