A British user is seeking recommendations for an iOS app that can serve as a reliable endpoint compatible with OpenAI models, specifically looking for apps without the need for slow agents or remote services.
- The user has tried several local AI solutions like 3sparks but found it lacking in features such as web search and mcp (model control protocol).
- Apps like Noema were promising initially, but they did not support the necessary functionality for their intended use.
- No suitable app was found that could mimic the capabilities of apps like OWUI or LMS while maintaining a local model with web search and API access via a remote server.
For those looking to showcase how a locally hosted model can perform inference efficiently, without relying on slow external agents for tasks like text generation and web searches, this issue highlights the need for more comprehensive and feature-rich apps that support these functionalities.
