tl;dr: AI + competition

Utilizing the otherwise quiet month of August gives Google a chance to show off new AI ideas on Pixel ahead of Apple’s next iPhones which, now, look to be packed with “Apple Intelligence.”

I've never seen more hype around anything in my life than AI. This is so wild. Can't wait for this fad to die.

especially remote ai that relies on google's servers, because it's not even impressive anymore.

Ironically Google is kind of the only one actually doing on device AI.

Where? Apple and Microsoft are the only ones I've seen offering on-device AI. It's been proven that Google is lying about this on several occasions. Mostly with their photo editor.

Gemini Nano. It's in Pixel Recorder and Gboard but multimodal capabilities are coming soon. It's very limited to a couple phones and not many companies outside of Google have access, but it has been used in production since last year.

Apple does not have on device AI in production today. Microsoft's "Copilot+PCs" launched less than 2 weeks ago, but are significantly more powerful machines.

Nor does Google. It says right on this page:

Later this year, Pixel and Android users will be the first to experience its new multimodal capabilities.

Huh? Multimodal is coming later this year (like I said in my last comment).

They have had on device Gen AI running on Pixel phones in production since last year.

I don't understand any of these words and they all sound super made-up and ridiculous.
