Google Withholds Nano AI from Pixel 8 over Hardware Limitations, But More AI Features Coming
-
Google's Nano AI model will not be available on Pixel 8 smartphones due to hardware limitations, specifically less RAM (8GB vs 12GB in Pixel 8 Pro).
-
Nano provides features like summarizing audio to text and auto-generating quick replies to messages.
-
Nano runs locally on the device so is private, fast, and free compared to cloud services.
-
The AICore system service allows apps to leverage Nano for on-device inference.
-
More Gemini-powered AI features are planned for Google Assistant on Pixel devices in 2023.
