Following the release of Dimensity 9300 and S8G3 phones, I am expecting growth in popularity of LLMs running on mobile phones, as quantized 3B or 7B models can already run on high-end phones from five years ago or later. But despite it being possible, there are a few concerns, including power consumption and storage size. I've seen posts about successfully running LLMs on mobile devices, but seldom see people discussing about future trends. What are your thoughts?
