Qwen3-0.6B (400 MB) on a Samsung Note 8 (2017) phone drives a real desktop Chrome (r/LocalLLaMA)
Reddit thread · Story page
A 400 MB Qwen3-0.6B on a 2017 Galaxy Note 8 drives desktop Chrome by picking one named element from a structured page of about 10 links or fields. Extraction, clicking and verification sit in the surrounding stack, which the poster helps build, so the scaffold is the story.
In plain words
- A project contributor demonstrated artificial intelligence running on an old Samsung phone directing a computer's web browser.
- The phone chooses one item by name from a short list of links or fields.
- Other software prepares the choices, clicks the selected item, reads the facts, and checks the results.
- For developers using small artificial intelligence systems, the example shows how supporting software can do most of the browser work.
