Hello,
I wanted to ask for your opinions on the OpenAssistant app available on F-Droid. Basically, it’s an app designed to run local AI models on mobile devices.
Here is the link:
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.vayunmathur.openassistant
However, there is something that has seemed strange to me regarding the model download process, based on my experience (not a technical person):
The download bar (which I assume refers to the model being downloaded) never goes past 0%.
While the bar stays stuck, the app is consuming a lot of mobile data (jumping from megabytes to gigabytes).
During this high data usage, the app crashes and stops responding completely.
Despite this heavy data usage, the app size doesn’t seem to increase (does this mean it’s uploading data instead of downloading?).
On rare occasions, I’ve managed to get past the download screen, but then I get an error pointing to the model directory.
Is this behavior normal? Does the app work properly for you?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
