Your sensitive data—personal documents, business communications, creative work—becomes part of someone else's training data or surveillance apparatus. ### 🚀 **Performance Revolution** **Privacy no longer means compromise.** Recent breakthroughs in model efficiency mean on-device AI now **outperforms cloud alternatives**: - **Qwen3-4B**: Outperforms Qwen2.5-72B while being 18x smaller - **Gemma3-4B**: Matches Gemma2-27B performance with 6.75x fewer parameters and exceptional image recognition capabilities - **Phi-4**: Outperforms Gemini Pro 1.5 in mathematical reasoning and competition problems - **Zero Latency**: No network delays mean instant responses - **Always Available**: No API limits, rate limiting, or service outages ### 🔒 **True Data Sovereignty** **NativeMind puts you back in control.** By running AI models entirely on your device, we eliminate the fundamental privacy risks of cloud AI: - **100% On-Device Processing**: Every keystroke, every document, every conversation stays on your device - **Zero Cloud Dependencies**: No data ever transmitted to external servers - **No Corporate Surveillance**: No tech giant can analyze your usage patterns or content - **No Government Access**: No backdoors or potential government data requests - **No Data Breaches**: If your data never leaves your device, it can't be stolen from servers - **No Account Required**: Use all features without registration or login - **Open Source Transparency**: Every line of code is publicly auditable ## 🛠️ For Developers ### Technology Stack
