Your iPhone helps your Mac run a 27B model: faster prompt reading and more context over a USB-C cable

About the project

A llama.cpp fork that plugs an iPhone into a Mac over USB-C and splits the work: the Mac runs layers 1-40, the iPhone runs 41-64 on its GPU, speeding up prefill and allowing context up to 196k-229k tokens. Aimed at people running Qwen3-27B locally on a memory-constrained Mac.

Useful for
  • Speed up reading long files and tool results in a local agent on a Mac
  • Extend session context to 128k+ tokens on a 24 GB MacBook
  • Run Qwen3-27B locally using the iPhone GPU for part of the layers

Stars per day

050100September 27, 2026October 3, 2026

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 0 stars so far today, about 78 expected by the end of the day.
  • The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
  • The repository is 2 days old and already has 79 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #128.
  • About 24 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
