🖼️ POCKET-Image — the POCKET series goes visual: character-perfect text in any language, on-device

A new model in VIDRAFT's POCKET family. POCKET put 35B-class models on phones and no-GPU PCs. POCKET-Image carries the same "big capability, small hardware" idea into image generation — and fixes the one thing nearly every image model gets wrong: text.

Type "안녕하세요" into a typical model and you get "안ㅐ기." Hangul alone composes 11,172 syllable blocks; Arabic connects its letters; Thai stacks marks. Diffusion models draw scripts as shapes, so they smear. POCKET-Image renders every glyph exactly — 한국어 · 中文 · 日本語 · العربية (RTL) · ไทย · Latin and more — onto any scene you describe.

What it is:
• 100% accurate text, any language — where global models produce gibberish
• Any background from a prompt — text is optional (empty → a pure image)
• No GPU, no NPU — runs on plain CPU + RAM via the POCKET-Core engine
• Measured footprint: 8.6 GB (RTX 3050/4060) · 4.5 GB (offloaded, 6 GB cards) · 13.4 GB (MacBook, 16 GB+)
• Windows · macOS · Linux · fully local, no cloud

Built on the open, commercial-friendly Z-Image (Apache-2.0) foundation.

Honest note: the text is the guaranteed-correct part — the surrounding scene is ordinary generation, so a busy foreground can crowd the letters. We say so; clean backgrounds stay razor-sharp.

POCKET now speaks Gemma 4 — a 26B model that loads in every app, and runs on your PC with no GPU

We're adding a Gemma-4 sibling to POCKET: POCKET-26B, built from Google's Gemma-4-26B-A4B (Apache-2.0). Our flagship POCKET-35B is a Qwen-family MoE and needs a recent llama.cpp; POCKET-26B trades a little size for the thing people kept asking for — it just loads, everywhere, today: Ollama, LM Studio, PocketPal, MLX, any stock llama.cpp. No fork, no bleeding-edge runtime, no CUDA, no cloud.

It's a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (25.2B total, ~4B active per token), so the work per token stays small — a real 26B that generates on a CPU with no graphics card.

Two things make it stand out:

1) Universal compatibility. Gemma 4 is a standard, widely-supported architecture, so POCKET-26B runs on the tools you already have — no waiting for your app to add a new model type.

2) Quality that survives compression. Measured GPQA-Diamond (198 q, greedy):
• Full base: 67.7%
• POCKET-26B Q4_K_M (17 GB): 67.7% — lossless
• POCKET-26B Q2_K (11 GB): 67.2% — near-lossless, at 11 GB

Live, on a CPU-only box (our demo Space — POCKET-26B vs Bonsai-27B, same machine, same stock llama.cpp): POCKET-26B ≈ 19 tok/s vs Bonsai ≈ 6 tok/s → about 3× faster generation, no GPU. (Honest notes: shared CPU box, sequential race; a dedicated machine is faster.)

Where it fits in the family:
• POCKET-35B (Qwen MoE) — bigger, top-tier, needs a recent llama.cpp.
• POCKET-26B (Gemma 4) — loads in any app, quality-robust when compressed. The demo runs the Q4_K_M build; Q2_K (11 GB) is the smallest footprint. For a true ≤8 GB phone, the 5 GB POCKET-KR (Qwen) is still the pick.
