A widely shared post claims a family of highly lightweight models can run on smartphones: the VLM reportedly matches Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite / GPT-5.6 Luna class, and quantized text models shrink below 1GB so they run on ordinary phones.
No source or benchmarks are given and the compared model names are unverified — treat as a rumor until official releases confirm it.
