tl-dr

-Can someone give me step by step instructions (ELI5) on how to get access to my LLM’s on my rig from my phone?

Jan seems the easiest but I’ve tried with Ollama, librechat, etc.

I’ve taken steps to secure my data and now I’m going the selfhosting route. I don’t care to become a savant with the technical aspects of this stuff but even the basics are hard to grasp! I’ve been able to install a LLM provider on my rig (Ollama, Librechat, Jan, all of em) and I can successfully get models running on them. BUT what I would LOVE to do is access the LLM’s on my rig from my phone while I’m within proximity. I’ve read that I can do that via wifi or LAN or something like that but I have had absolutely no luck. Jan seems the easiest because all you have to do is something with an API key but I can’t even figure that out.

Any help?

    In case I miss your reply, assuming a 3080 + 64 GB of RAM, you want the IQ4_KSS (or IQ3_KS, for more RAM for tabs and stuff) version of this:

    https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/GLM-4.5-Air-GGUF

    Part of it will run on your GPU, part will live in system RAM, but ik_llama.cpp does the quantizations split and GPU offloading in a particularly efficient way for these kind of ‘MoE’ models. Follow the instructions on that page.

    If you ‘only’ have 32GB RAM or less, that’s tricker, and the next question is what kind of speeds do you want. But it’s probably best to wait a few days and see how Qwen3 80B looks when it comes out. Or just go with the IQ4_K version of this: https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507-GGUF

    And you don’t strickly need the hyper optimization of ik_llama.cpp for a small model like Qwen3 30B. Something easier like lm studio or the llama.cpp docker image would be fine.

    Alternatively, you could try to squeeze Gemma 27B into that 11GB VRAM, but it would be tight.
