Wan 2.1 can now run locally on supported Samsung phones through the Saient Quartz engine.
The setup was tested on an 8 GB RAM Samsung device. The linked project describes Quartz as a custom CUDA/Vulkan GGUF inference engine that also supports SD1.5/SDXL image and video generation, written in Rust and explicitly not based on llama.cpp.
