In a low-key but impactful move, Google has released a new Android app called AI Edge Gallery, allowing users to download and run AI models directly on their smartphones without needing an internet connection.

This experimental app is a step forward in making artificial intelligence more accessible, faster, and privacy-friendly by processing data locally rather than in the cloud.

AI Edge Gallery supports a wide range of AI models, many of which are sourced from the popular open-source platform Hugging Face. These models can perform tasks like image generation, natural language processing, code editing, and more, entirely on-device.

This shift means that users can enjoy near-instant results and greater control over their data, with no risk of sensitive information being uploaded to external servers.

The app’s interface presents a clean home screen with options such as “AI Chat,” “Ask Image,” and other task-specific tools. Once a task is selected, users can choose from various AI models optimised for that purpose.

For example, Google’s own lightweight Gemma 3n model is available for certain text-based tasks. There’s also a “Prompt Lab” where users can test single-turn prompts, such as rewriting text or summarising content, with customisable parameters to tweak model behaviour.

However, the experience will vary depending on the device. While newer smartphones with powerful processors can run these models efficiently, older or mid-range devices may encounter slower performance or limitations in handling more complex models.

Still, the move is a major leap in democratizing access to AI tools and reducing dependence on always-online services.

Google’s release indicates a wider industry trend towards edge computing in AI, where tasks are handled on the device itself rather than relying on cloud infrastructure.

This approach not only improves performance and user experience but also addresses growing concerns about data privacy and security.

The app is currently available to download as an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 license, giving developers the freedom to explore, adapt, and contribute to its growth. An iOS version is reportedly in the works, which would broaden access across mobile platforms.
