Chinese outlets highlight developer Adrien Grondin's demonstration of the iPhone 18 Pro running the Bonsai 27B model locally with the A20 Pro chip's dual 16-core neural engine and 12GB LPDDR5X memory.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro runs 27-billion parameter AI model locally
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro, powered by the A20 Pro chip with a dual 16-core neural engine, demonstrated the ability to run a 27-billion parameter AI model locally. Developer Adrien Grondin's test showed doubled token generation speed compared to the predecessor. The device also features 12GB of LPDDR5X memory.
The coverage highlights how hardware upgrades in neural engines and memory capacity directly push the boundaries of on-device artificial intelligence inference for mobile devices.
