Can OneJev 9B run on iPhone 16 Pro Max?
Weights exceed this memory budget · custom workflow required
Weight fit is not phone app support
The tracked Q4_K_M weights are 5.6GB; the generic working-memory estimate is 7.1GB against 5.2GB usable. Image inputs need additional projector memory.
OneJev scores typed decisions in a single forward pass, not chat replies. The decode estimates below are not measured decision latency. The publisher's qev server and System One client are required; AICanRun has not verified a phone app route.
