    Never, ever put your money into an Indiegogo project. It's not investing, as you don't earn any money. It's not purchasing, as there are no guarantees of products finishing or shipping. You also don't have any consumer protections or rights, even if the project violates Indiegogo's terms of service and commits fraud, unless you reside in the same country as the company leading the project.

    Don't ask me how I know; I am still bitter.

      IMO it falls short on RAM (16GB is the new minimum and this phone only has 😎

      what the hell. just no. what do you want to run on it, desktop windows with electron apps and dozens of active (not open) browser tabs?

      6 GB should be plenty fine.

        Indiegogo also tries to sneak a crazy high tip to the platform when you back a project now.

          My current phone has 12GB and quite frankly it's amazing to have that much!

          I know 16GB seems ridiculous, but with LLMs gaining popularity, running one locally on a phone really needs at least 8GB, and 16GB would be much better.

          I think it's just the way things are going.

            My last phone had 12, my current one has 8. Fine for multitasking. I really dunno what I'd want an LLM on my phone for.

              I don't need an LLM on my phone, and most people don't either. I mean, I'm not an AI addict, but also, these are battery powered devices!

              if I want to use an LLM on the go for some reason, I would either run that at home on a computer that was made for performance, or just use the duck.ai site because that's just fine too
