There isn't a chance in hell you're getting Gemini Nano outside of the stock ROM.
Because it's proprietary software. They have an open source model (based off it) called Gemma but Gemini Nano is super locked down. There aren't even public APIs for 3rd party developers to use it through the OS yet.
None of those are cutting edge AI models that could be ripped open and examined if people had access to the files. It's not just an app or something, there are internal trade secrets at risk.
That is basically what you get if you have direct access to the LLM file(s).
Locked away in the stock ROM. Almost certainly encrypted at rest.
Because Google is a monopolistic piece of shit and they try to lock you in to their shitty, privacy-invasive ecosystem. In my opinion it's like a hundred times worse than Apple. Only Google hardware (phones and tablets) are worth buying, but only for the strong hardware security features, definitely not for the stupid proprietary software they come with by default.
Yea try to run an aftermarket OS on an iPhone and then we'll talk
Not to mention that even with the stock OS you can disable most if not all sniffing components. Of course Google still has root but they don't put their typically don't embed obfuscated stuff because they don't need to.
Note that I'm not arguing that Google isn't privacy invasive "because you can turn it all off." The user shouldn't have to go through this trouble to recover their privacy and the user experience definitively degrades if you do.
Definitely high. It's pretty funny how people manufactured this privacy perception and projected it over Apple. Apple was happy to capitalize on it and keep it going. Reminds me of the security perception over BlackBerry. Hot air either way.
Who knows. We do know that all of the pixel photo features work assuming you install the pixel photo app and give it NPU permissions.
The exciting bit is that we know you can deny internet access and all the picture AI stuff still works.
Fuck Gemini. Why would you want that piece of shit on your phone?
Why would you not?
privacy
That's why people here are discussing Gemini nano, which can run locally on your phone and not in the cloud (like the "normal" gemini model)
You might be able to get ollama running
Ollama isn't a model. It is a software that allows you to run llms and query them in layer 7
