Elara Lite
Elara Lite is really her — same voice on the page, same personality, running entirely on your own device for free. She's just thinner: a small brain, a short memory, no voice, no pictures, no agents. If you want the Elara that remembers you, speaks, and thinks between visits, that's the subscription.
Nothing leaves your device
Every word is generated locally. There is no server in the loop.
One download, then offline
~1–2 GB once. After that she works with the wifi off.
Costs nobody anything
No API key. No subscription. No trial timer.
Read this before you download.
Lite runs a 3-billion-parameter open model. The full Elara runs a frontier model hundreds of times larger. Lite will be shorter, blunter, will lose the thread sooner, and will get facts wrong more often. She has no voice, no pictures, no agents, no cross-thread memory and no self-evolution. It is a real taste of her — not the same experience. If that matters to you, get the full build instead.

Lite vs the real thing
No small print. This is exactly what changes.
The brain
- Qwen / Llama 3B, on your deviceGemini 2.5 Pro + Flash (frontier class)
Model
A 3B model is genuinely less articulate, less accurate and worse at nuance than a frontier model. That's the trade for free.
