BerryCore v0.82 bundles on-device AI (bcllm 1.2.1) in the main install and ships an updated BerryCore Helper APK for sideloading.


On-device AI — bcllm 1.2.1 (bundled)

BerryCore AI (llama.cpp) is included in berrycore.zip as core package ai-bcllm-1.2.1.zip. After install, binaries live at:

/accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/

install.sh moves the bundled tree out of the berrycore directory and links ai into $NATIVE_TOOLS/bin.

ai download smollm2_135m      # ~101 MB, needs wget + Wi-Fi
ai                            # interactive menu
ai "What is the capital of France?"
ai web                        # http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Requires: wget (core package), Wi-Fi for first model download
