You Can Now Run AI Models Offline on Android with Google AI Edge Gallery
1 min read
Summary
Google has launched its AI Edge Gallery, which has been created under an Apache 2.0 licence.
It allows Android users to run AI models offline.
It is not yet available on the Google Play Store, but users can sideload the APK file onto their device.
It is still in the experimental phase, and not all functionalities are guaranteed to be stable, and users must login to Hugging Face to authorised downloads.
It is currently only available for Android users, with iOS availability slated for the future.
Users can currently utilise the app for activities such as generating and analysing images, AI chatting, and coding.
This development ensures data privacy and is faster than cloud-based AI processers, while also being accessible offline anywhere and in situations with poor internet connection.
