Some might say a blessing in disguise
Google developed AICore, an Android system service applications can use to make Google Nano perform ML inference tasks, such as text generation, on the device using whatever hardware acceleration is to hand.
Zhang said AICore is basically an API surface for Gemini Nano, and that this model is constrained by the computing power of the device. On phones where there is no Nano, such as the Pixel 8, there is no AICore to use. AICore is useful in that it allows apps to tap into Gemini Nano on the local device without needing an internet connection to some remote cloud service. All the text generated by the model is private since the data doesn't leave the smartphone, which also reduces latency, making it faster to run."Lastly, and most importantly, it's free," Zhang said.
"AICore is currently only available on Google Pixel 8 Pro and Samsung S24 Series devices," Google makes clear in theplanning to roll out more AI features for its voice-controlled Assistant, powered by its larger Gemini Pro and Ultra models, next year on its Pixel devices.
