Public shaming works: Google Pixel 8 will get Gemini Nano (On-device AI)
Google confirmed Pixel 8 will get Gemini Nano On-device AI. It’s a big development coming after public shaming against the manufacturer. As a result, Google Pixel 8 will use Gemini Nano for a couple of AI features starting with the June 2024 Feature Drop.
Earlier, Google revealed Gemini Nano is exclusive to Pixel 8 Pro due to hardware limitations. Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup supports Gemini Nano despite 8GB RAM and Exynos 2400 chip that is identical to the Tensor G3.
Despite using the same Tensor G3 chipset, the Pixel 8 wasn’t getting on-device AI because of “hardware limitations.” Pixel fans and watchful Android experts asked the same question: what the heck, Google?
Well, it’s now confirmed that Google will bring Gemini Nano to Pixel 8 with the next Pixel feature drop as a developer preview. The upgrade will offer on-device AI features like recorder summaries and smart replies in Gboard — the same as the Pixel 8 Pro.
Gemini Nano is coming to #Pixel8 as a developer preview in a future #FeatureDrop!
