Stellar Field — Android preview
Astra. On the phone. Offline.
Astronomers travel to dark-sky sites with no cell signal — exactly where the cloud AI fails. Field Mode runs Astra entirely on your phone, so the answers keep coming when the bars don't.

On-device Astra
Llama 3.2 1B + an astronomy RAG corpus, running on the phone. Free per call. Works in airplane mode.
What runs on the phone
Local LLM with RAG
@qvac/llm-llamacpp + @qvac/embed-llamacpp. Llama 3.2 1B Q4_0 over 72 chunks of Messier, constellation, and telescope reference data. Cited answers, no server.
Voice notes at the eyepiece
@qvac/transcription-whispercpp. Press, speak the observation, release. Whisper transcribes locally and saves it as a structured record — even with the phone in airplane mode.
Background sky checker
While you're under the scope, a local QVAC loop watches planet positions and surfaces alerts ('Saturn is now above 30 degrees') without a server round-trip.
