What Silver Prime actually does today โ and what's honestly on the way. Every card is tagged shipped, in progress, or planned.
01 ยท Inference
In progressยท 3.1 โ 3.3Free + Premium
Hybrid LLM routing
Cloud-only today via your Groq key. Phi-3-mini on-device is the next major milestone. When both exist, a small classifier will pick where your message goes based on length, keywords, and your preference.
Groq llama-3.1-8b-instant via your key โ shipped
Override in settings: Always local / Always cloud / Smart (default)
02 ยท Privacy
ShippedFree + Premium
Privacy by architecture, not policy
There's no backend to leak because there isn't one. API keys sit in the Android Keystore. Conversations sit in SQLCipher. Biometric data, if you ever opt in, never leaves the device. Your conversations never leave the device โ local inference, local keys, local memory.
No server-side auth, no analytics, no telemetry โ shipped
API keys wrapped by Android Keystore (hardware-backed) โ shipped
Conversations in SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite โ shipped
Face embeddings never transmitted (if you enrol later) โ planned Stage 4
One-tap wipe for face + voice data โ planned Stage 4
03 ยท Persona
Plannedยท 3.5Free + Premium
Renameable assistant
Default persona will be "Prime." Change the name in onboarding or settings and every system prompt, every notification, every greeting follows.
Default: "Prime" (mirrors Siri / Alexa defaults)
Custom name persists across sessions + backups
Persona string injected into system prompt
Voice wakeword will adapt to the chosen name (after Stage 3.4 voice lands)
04 ยท Streaming
ShippedFree + Premium
Streaming chat
Token-by-token replies via SSE. Typing cursor pulses while the model thinks. Abort mid-generation when you already got what you needed.
XHR-based SSE parser (Hermes-safe on RN 0.74)
AbortController cancels in-flight streams
Assistant turn persisted as it streams, not after
"+ New" session button resets + aborts in one tap
05 ยท Memory
ShippedFree + Premium
Conversation persistence
Every session, every turn, stored locally. Launch the app six weeks later, your last chat is still there.
WatermelonDB + SQLCipher schema
conversation_sessions + conversation_turns tables
50 most-recent turns hydrated on launch
Provisional title from the first user message
Archive, restore, export โ all local
06 ยท Self-improvement
Plannedยท 4 + 6 + 7Premium
Recursive self-improvement
Ask the assistant to do something it can't. It will draft a capability, run it against fixtures in a sandbox you can inspect, and โ once you approve โ the capability becomes a permanent part of your assistant. JS-layer self-update is free and local: the assistant writes a new JS module, the Hermes isolate runs it, and if you confirm it works, it's written to the app's private storage and loaded on the next launch. No network required, no APK reinstall. Native features โ new camera hooks, accessibility permissions, system integrations โ live in the APK's native binaries, which Android signs and freezes. For those, the Pro channel (Stage 6) rebuilds a signed APK and prompts you to install the update. You always confirm. A skill marketplace (Stage 7) lets you publish capabilities you built โ other users buy them for $SOL on Solana with marketplace-enforced royalties back to you.
JS module generated via your API key (Groq / Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini)
Static-analysis gate: no eval, no require, no __proto__, no host-app access
Runs in Hermes isolated runtime with fixtures before promotion
User approves every capability; 30-day one-tap rollback
Optional Pro channel (Stage 6) rebuilds signed APK for native features
Optional marketplace (Stage 7) lists skills on Solana for $SOL
Privacy FAQ
Where does the on-device model live?
The default install places the ~2.2 GB Phi-3-mini weight file in Silver Prime's private app storage, excluded from Android Auto Backup. Developer-mode users can point the app at a sideloaded file in shared storage โ in that case the model file itself isn't private, but since Phi-3 is a public open-source model from Microsoft, its location reveals nothing about you. Your prompts, conversations, keys, and memory remain private on-device in all modes.
