The Android 14 is also set to receive upgrades to handle these AI tasks, with the Android AICore connecting with Gemini Nano to enable more Google AI and app integration. Google's Pixel 8 phone was initially touted as the first real "AI phone", but was light on AI capabilities at launch. However, Google's VP of product management for Pixel, Brian Rakowski, said Gemini will power Assistant with Bard "early next year". Despite the focus on powerful AI models, natively running AI could be the next big benchmark for user-end AI, with companies aiming to pare down these models to fit on limited hardware.
Key takeaways:
- Google's new AI model, Gemini, will bring a range of AI capabilities to the Google Pixel 8 Pro, with features running directly on users' devices.
- The smallest version of the AI, Gemini Nano, will provide text summarization, smart replies, and AI-enhanced spell check, among other features.
- Android 14 is also getting upgrades to handle these AI tasks, with the Android AICore connecting with Gemini Nano to enable more Google AI and app integration.
- Despite the focus on large, powerful AI models, the next big benchmark for user-end AI may be AI that runs natively on users' devices.
