well that that was fast...
how long until second hand market becomes viable? Xmas?
It takes a year or so until the second hand market has plenty to offer. But already a few days after the release you can find the first offers.
is there any benefit to wait for 9 series second hand market to be competitive over buying 8 today?
I have the Pixel 8a. For me, it's really a great phone. As far as I know, the 8a is never going to get the "Gemini AI" software due to limited memory (does not apply to 8/8pro).
Camera, performance, screen etc is mostly similar as I heard.
That's odd, I installed the Gemini app on my 6a like a week ago. Unless you're specifically talking about grapheneOS.
Whats not aupported is to run gemini nano directly on your phone. The default gemini (in the cloud) works fine.
Wait for a black Friday deal. I traded in my 4a previously and upgraded to a 7a for $150
Does it receive all 16GB of RAM or is the 3GB still locked away?
Is Gemini Nano supported?
There isn't a chance in hell you're getting Gemini Nano outside of the stock ROM.
Why not?
Because it's proprietary software. They have an open source model (based off it) called Gemma but Gemini Nano is super locked down. There aren't even public APIs for 3rd party developers to use it through the OS yet.
An enormous portion of Google's products are proprietary and yet still made freely available to anyone.
None of those are cutting edge AI models that could be ripped open and examined if people had access to the files. It's not just an app or something, there are internal trade secrets at risk.
No one is asking for access to the source code.
That is basically what you get if you have direct access to the LLM file(s).
Then thousands of people already have that on their Pixel 9s and 8s.
Locked away in the stock ROM. Almost certainly encrypted at rest.

Who knows. We do know that all of the pixel photo features work assuming you install the pixel photo app and give it NPU permissions.
The exciting bit is that we know you can deny internet access and all the picture AI stuff still works.
Who knows
Presumably the GOS devs. And anyone who owns a P9x.

Yeah, that's why I ask. Some of this stuff works already. The on-device AI in Gboard is incredible. As is the spam detection in GMessages.

Fuck Gemini. Why would you want that piece of shit on your phone?
Having recorded and summarized phone calls is a pretty damn useful feature...
Why would you not?
privacy
That's why people here are discussing Gemini nano, which can run locally on your phone and not in the cloud (like the "normal" gemini model)
Exactly.
