It was trained on <a href=\"http:\/\/Bitcoin.com\">Bitcoin.com<\/a> News reporting, and it runs entirely on your phone. No internet needed once it has downloaded.<\/p>\n<h3>What it\u00a0does<\/h3>\n<p>Ask it anything about bitcoin or crypto in ordinary words. Some examples worth trying\u00a0first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What actually happens during a bitcoin\u00a0halving?<\/li>\n<li>Why do bitcoin transaction fees go up and\u00a0down?<\/li>\n<li>What is the difference between a hot wallet and a cold\u00a0wallet?<\/li>\n<li>Someone messaged me about a guaranteed 10 percent monthly return. What should I be thinking\u00a0about?<\/li>\n<li>Explain gas fees like I have never used crypto\u00a0before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is built for people who want the concept explained, not the jargon repeated back at\u00a0them.<\/p>\n<h3>Where the answers come\u00a0from<\/h3>\n<p>The model was trained on <a href=\"http:\/\/Bitcoin.com\">Bitcoin.com<\/a> News\u2019 own archive of reporting plus our YouTube library. So when it explains a topic, it is drawing on material written and recorded to introduce that topic to newcomers.<\/p>\n<p>The main model is 1.7 billion parameters with a 32,000-token context window. On phones with less memory, the app picks a lighter model that fits the\u00a0device.<\/p>\n<h3>It runs on your\u00a0phone<\/h3>\n<p>The model lives on your device. The first time you open the AI tab, the app downloads it (about 1.4 GB for the main model, so Wi-Fi is a good idea). After that, your questions are answered locally and are never sent to a server. That\u00a0means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It works offline.<\/strong> Airplane mode, no signal, bad hotel Wi-Fi. It still\u00a0answers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your questions stay on your phone.<\/strong> There is no prompt log sitting on someone else\u2019s infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No round trip.<\/strong> The answer is generated on the device, not in a data\u00a0center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Getting to\u00a0it<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Update to the latest version of the Bitcoin News app from the App Store or Google\u00a0Play.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the <strong>AI<\/strong>\u00a0tab.<\/li>\n<li>First open downloads the model. That happens\u00a0once.<\/li>\n<li>Ask away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Fair warning<\/h3>\n<p>This is an educational model. It explains concepts. It does not show you which articles an answer came from, it cannot look up today\u2019s price or the latest headlines, and it is not a financial advisor. Nothing it says is investment advice. If an answer matters to a decision you are making with real money, verify\u00a0it.<\/p>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Does it cost anything?<\/strong> No. It is part of the\u00a0app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does it need an account?<\/strong>\u00a0No.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much storage does it use?<\/strong> About 1.4 GB for the main model, downloaded once on first open of the AI tab. Smaller devices get a lighter\u00a0model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does it really work with no connection?<\/strong> Yes, once the model has downloaded. Put the phone in airplane mode and try\u00a0it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it giving me financial advice?<\/strong> No, and it should not be used that way. It is an educational tool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can it look up today\u2019s price or the latest news?<\/strong> No. It is a trained model running offline, not a live data feed. The rest of the app does\u00a0that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which devices?<\/strong> iOS and Android, latest version of the Bitcoin News\u00a0app.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Update now:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/go.satoshiherald.com\/ai-blog\"><em>https:\/\/go.satoshiherald.com\/ai-blog<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/_\/stat?event=post.clientViewed&amp;referrerSource=full_rss&amp;postId=e9479be3e3f1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitcoin.com\/whats-new-in-the-bitcoin-news-app-an-ai-that-works-offline-e9479be3e3f1\">What\u2019s New in the Bitcoin News App: An AI That Works Offline<\/a> was originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitcoin.com\">Bitcoin.com<\/a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitcoin.com\/whats-new-in-the-bitcoin-news-app-an-ai-that-works-offline-e9479be3e3f1?source=rss----b32abb2c5b2c---4\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitcoin News app has an AI tab, and it is not the kind of AI you are used\u00a0to.
