This link, included in a newsletter forwarded to Manuel, points to an article in The Information by Aaron Tilley titled 'Khosla-Backed Startup Claims Breakthrough With Largest-Ever AI Model on an iPhone.' The page is protected by a paywall (the notice 'Subscribe to unlock' appears just below the headline) and offers no introductory paragraph, summary or body text accessible without a subscription, so it is not possible to confirm or expand on the report's actual content.
The only thing verifiable from the received material is the headline and the author's name. The headline itself points to a Khosla-backed startup that claims to have run the largest AI model to date on an iPhone, but the accessible material does not detail the startup's name or the model's specific parameter count, so those data should not be taken as confirmed without access to the full text.
On the same page, off to the side, another reference appears -'Exclusive: Power Developer Behind OpenAI's Stargate Data Center Is In Talks to Sell Stake'-, which corresponds to a separate piece from The Information and should not be confused with this article's content.
Since no body text is available, it is not possible to offer a substantive analysis of the technical claims (model size, quantization, on-device performance, Khosla Ventures funding or other details) without risking making up information. A reliable summary would require paid access to The Information.
