iPhone app help

Open Settings from any main tab to refresh data, manage privacy, read policies, or contact Privaj. Latest and Library refresh on opening and about every five minutes while active. Pull down to refresh sooner. If a request fails, the last saved data remains available with a connection message. Compare and Tools use the current website, so its improvements appear without reinstalling the app.

Native app updates still need installation. The current private preview is not a public App Store release. Builds with release alerts connected offer an opt-in control in Settings. Choose your interests, then turn on release alerts and allow notifications. If Settings says setup is pending, remote delivery is not enabled for that build yet. Preview a notification is always a local test, not proof of remote delivery. For an app problem, include the app version shown in Settings, your iOS version, what you tried, and what happened. Do not send passwords or API keys. [email protected].

How do I compare models?

Open Discover, search or filter the catalog, and choose Compare on two to four model cards. Choose a task and benchmark to see matching results, then scroll for API prices, capabilities, licensing, and hardware specifications.

Why isn’t there an overall “best” score?

A model can excel at one task and struggle at another. Scout has not independently tested this catalog. A missing benchmark means we lack evidence; it is not a zero score. Compare models within the same task and inspect how each benchmark was run.

Where are cloud prices?

Choose Cloud API in the model library. Selected direct-provider models and base text prices come from Models.dev, refreshed about every six hours. Missing prices do not mean free access. Context tiers, tools, media and other charges may change the bill; check the provider’s current rates.

Will this model run on my GPU?

The 4-bit VRAM baseline is a calculation for model weights alone: total parameters × 4 ÷ 8. For example, 8 billion parameters occupy about 4 GB before extra memory is included.

Running a model also needs memory for the runtime, cache, activations, and sometimes other model components. A compatible 4-bit download may not exist. The baseline is not a guarantee that a model fits on your GPU.

What do the size filters mean?

They use total parameters for downloadable models. Mixture-of-experts active parameters are not the total size. Models with unknown sizes have a separate filter. Cloud-only models don’t need a local parameter panel.

Where do speed reports come from?

My hardware lets you save your own language-model measurements on this device. Start with the model, computer, and measured generation speed. Precision, app, memory used, context, and test lengths are optional; unknown settings are not guessed. Public community reports are not connected yet.

How current is the library?

The interactive explorer checks connected sources every five minutes while visible. The configured Lenovo updater also checks sources when nobody has the website open. You can also use its refresh button. Scout retains earlier records when a source fails, so check the source status and each model’s last-checked date.

“Listed” means a repository’s creation date or a catalog’s addition date. It is not a verified public release date. Following makers currently works on this device; it does not send email or push alerts.

Report missing or incorrect information

Send the model’s name, its Scout page link, the detail that needs changing, and a maker’s announcement or model-card link supporting the correction.

Where are my saved models?

If you allow preferences, bookmarks, followed makers, comparison selections, filters, hardware settings, and personal reports are saved in this browser’s local storage. With optional storage off, new choices last only while the page remains open. They do not sync to other devices. Private browsing or clearing site data may remove them.

You can export your performance reports from My hardware before clearing data. To remove everything Scout has saved on this device, use Privacy settings in the footer or your browser’s site-data settings. Read the privacy notice.
