It fetches around 2.1GB of data into the browser cache on first run, but then gave me decent quality responses to my prompts running at an impressive 21 tokens a second (M2, 64GB).
I think Phi-3 is the highest quality model of this size, so it’s a really good fit for running in a browser like this.
