The author tested a proprietary Qwen 35B MoE runtime on a Samsung S26 Ultra, claiming that without sacrificing accuracy, the activated model footprint fits within the device's memory constraints.

Early results show that after optimization, input processing is about 90 tokens/s, while output generation is around 8 tokens/s. The author emphasizes they are self-taught in AI/ML without a formal PhD, mentions having compute resources to continue testing, and invites collaboration. They also noted having submitted 4 arXiv papers, which are still under review due to a lack of institutional affiliation.
