Can Agents-A1 4B run on iPhone 14?
What this means
Our estimate says Agents-A1 4B should fit, but there is very little memory left for the operating system and other apps.
Download the Q4_K_M version, which is about 2.7 GB. We expect it to use about 3.7 GB of the roughly 3.9 GB available to a model on this phone.
At the estimated speed, a roughly 300-word answer may take about 70 seconds to finish.
This result is calculated from the phone and model specifications. It has not been measured on this exact phone and setup.

Use the right workflow for this model
This model is designed to run long-horizon research, tool-calling, and agent workflows. PocketPal does not provide the required a compatible tool harness that can execute calls and return their results to the model, so the tracked file is not a beginner phone-chat path.
