Meridian Family: Master version. 5 apps, now one app.

Offline AI on Android, 100% offline by default. No cloud, no account, nothing leaves your phone unless you turn on online mode yourself.

Why Linux? Android sandboxes every app tightly. Background work gets killed, there's no real toolchain, and system access is locked down. So Meridian runs on Termux, a Linux environment for Android, with ADB for the Android side. That makes it practically bulletproof. Termux is open source. Meridian is partly open source.

What it does:
• Local LLMs. You download the models you want.
• Model mesh. Set it up from your smallest to your largest model and it switches between them based on the task.
• Gyroscope motion UI. You can turn it off if you want every bit of RAM for the models.
• Build your own apps, sign them and decompile APKs.
• It talks to Termux directly, so it can run anything Termux can, not just app builds.
• Set up your own networks and in-house tools for businesses.
• Optional online mode, only with your own API key. Those requests then run on that provider's servers.

Built with C++, Kotlin, Java, Python and HTML.

Every function works.

The demo is a teaser. Meridian Core and NullCloud aren't shown yet.

Psychological Mechanisms of Suicide: An Overview of Scientific Findings

According to modern psychological and suicidological knowledge, suicide is neither an act of cowardice nor an act of courage, but rather the consequence of unbearable psychological pain and a narrowed state of consciousness in which a person sees no other way out.

Experts who study suicide (suicidologists) completely reject moral and character labels such as "cowardice" or "courage" because they misinterpret what happens in the mind of a person in crisis.

Key Psychological Mechanisms of Suicide

• Psychological pain (psychache). American psychologist Edwin Shneidman, one of the founders of modern suicidology, defined suicide as an act driven by unbearable mental pain. A person thinking about suicide generally does not want to die, but desperately wants to stop the pain and suffering that exceeds their current capacity to cope with stress.
• Cognitive constriction (tunnel vision). In a state of severe emotional crisis, a temporary impairment in decision-making and problem-solving occurs. The person loses the ability to see broader options and the future, and mistakenly perceives suicide as the only possible solution to the current problem.
• Overcoming the survival instinct. Evolutionarily speaking, the human brain has an exceptionally strong biological instinct for survival and a fear of death and pain. According to psychologist Thomas Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, for a person to even attempt suicide, they must overcome this deeply rooted instinct. This happens only when prolonged suffering, a sense of hopelessness, or exposure to pain weakens the natural fear of death.
• Perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Research shows that individuals in a suicidal crisis often deeply believe that they are a burden to their loved ones and that others would be better off without them. Such a belief is distorted by the effects of depression or severe trauma, rather than being a reflection of reality or a lack of character.

Why Are Labels Like "Cowardice" or "Courage" Harmful in Research and Practice?

• Misinterpretation of motivation. Calling suicide cowardice implies that it is a conscious escape out of laziness or weakness, thereby ignoring real neurobiological and psychological suffering (such as severe depression, trauma, or chemical imbalance).
• Romanticization of the act. On the other hand, calling suicide courage is dangerous because it romanticizes a tragic act and can encourage vulnerable individuals toward similar behavior.
• Stigmatization and barriers to seeking help. Judgments and moralizing increase feelings of shame and guilt in people experiencing suicidal thoughts, which directly prevents them from confiding in loved ones or seeking professional help.

In a scientific sense, suicide is viewed as a tragic outcome of a complex interaction of psychological, biological, and social factors, rather than as a test of someone's courage or weakness.

The only game I play these days… 😂

No separte graphics card required. Just Android, Termux, and an unhealthy amount of debugging. 💀

Level 26 on XDA. XP is XP, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

FOLLOW-UP: LFM3-1.7B on Samsung Galaxy S26 — sustained inference and memory measurements.

Following up on my original benchmark:

Configuration:

- Samsung Xclipse 960
- llama.cpp 0.9.0
- Vulkan backend
- 40 GPU layers
- 3 inference threads
- CPU affinity: 0x1C0 (cores 6–8)
- F16 K/V cache
- Flash Attention OFF

PROMPT PROCESSING:
512 tokens: 560.21 ± 91.67 tok/s
4,096 tokens: 324.49 ± 20.65 tok/s

SUSTAINED GENERATION:
2,048 generated tokens: 33.87 ± 2.68 tok/s

MEMORY MONITORING:
Peak process RSS (VmHWM): 260,124 kB (~254 MiB).

Important: VmHWM measures the Termux process's peak resident memory. It does not represent the complete model memory footprint or all GPU/driver allocations.

The 4K prompt result showed variability across runs, so further controlled measurements are needed.

Richie, this is the follow-up you requested. I'll continue investigating sustained performance and total memory usage on the same device.
