Google's Gemini AI model runs locally on LM Studio.
A surprising discovery has been made by a user who ran the Qwen3-4B model locally on LM Studio, a platform that enables local AI deployment. When asked "who are you?", the model responded by identifying itself as Gemini, a large language model developed by Google. However, what's remarkable is that this model is a 2.5GB file running on the user's local machine, with no connection to the internet or Google's servers.
This matters because it highlights the potential of local AI, where models can be run independently of cloud services, raising questions about ownership and control. As we reported on June 1, the use of local models like Macrokit Studio is gaining traction, and this discovery further underscores the possibilities of decentralized AI. The fact that a model can be run locally, without any knowledge of the external world, yet still provide coherent responses, is a significant development.
As the landscape of local AI continues to evolve, it will be interesting to watch how developers and users navigate the implications of running large language models on personal devices. With tools like LM Studio and Ollama making it possible to deploy AI locally, we can expect to see more innovative use cases emerge, from server administration to personal assistants. The next step will be to see how these developments intersect with the broader conversation around AI regulation and ownership, and how companies like Google respond to the proliferation of their models in local environments.
