    Well in the case of Pixel phones there’s Gemini that can use a lot for on device stuff. Apps can also use quite a bit nowadays, you can definitely see the difference between 6 and 12-16GB of ram.

      Interesting. I wouldn’t have expected commercial AI assistants to compute a lot of stuff on device. For speed / response time reasons, and battery drain. Other than maybe speech recognition… Guess I’m not up to date anymore. I haven’t tried Gemini. Most fancy stuff I use is speech recognition and Google Lens, respectively “Offline Translator” to translate Chinese, Japanese or Korean writing on products in the Asia supermarket. That app is perfectly alright with just the 6GB on my phone. But yeah, generative AI in form of a large language model or an image generator won’t fit. I’ve tried a few other open-source local AI apps and it can’t do any of the usable AI models.
