OlliteRT
OlliteRT is a local inference server - Turn your Android phone into an OpenAI-compatible LLM inference server - Fully local, private and Open Source.
Overview
Think of it as Ollama for Android. Pick a model, tap Start, and your phone becomes an LLM server — runs LLMs on your mobile GPU/CPU via Google's LiteRT-LM runtime and serves them as a standard OpenAI-compatible HTTP API on your local network.
No cloud. No API keys. No subscriptions. Just your phone.
OlliteRT is open-source, written primarily in Kotlin, with 309 GitHub stars under the Apache 2.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-09-05.
