Phi-4 local model profile

Evidence snapshot:

Phi-4 is a local model family available through Ollama. The published local profile lists 14B variants, 16K context, and a typical 9.1GB download range; effective speed and capacity depend on hardware and quantization.

Phi-4 is documented as a local Ollama family. This page does not claim a Kendr-hosted API route, hosted availability, a Kendr markup, or a routing receipt.

Phi-4 accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records text as capabilities or interfaces.

$0 token fee. Hardware, storage, memory, electricity, and operational costs remain user-provided.

No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated.

No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.

Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.
