Google's Gemini AI model was anticipated to be available on select mobile bias, including Android apps before this time, but unexpectedly, it was not compatible with Google's own flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8.
The reason? Well, during Mobile World Congress, it was revealed that the Pixel 8 could not run Gemini Nano due to unidentified tackle limitations. lately, on a Made by Google podcast, Seang Chau, VP of bias and services software, mentioned that the Pixel 8 Pro with 12 GB of RAM was ideal for running Gemini Nano, but the entry- position Pixel 8 with 4 GB less memory was not over to par.
Google did not want to compromise the stoner experience by making Gemini Nano run on just 8 GB of RAM. still, Google has changed its station a bit. In a recent advertisement on the Pixel Phone Help point, they stated that Gemini Nano will be available to Pixel 8 druggies as a inventor option in the coming software update.
This is good news for inventors who know how to enable it, but for the average Pixel 8 stoner, it's not important of a game- changer – at least, not yet. Chau also explained on the podcast that Google wants some AI- enabled features, like smart reply, to be" RAM occupant," meaning they permanently enthrall a knob of memory to be ready incontinently. Interestingly, Google told Ars Technica that neither the Pixel 8 nor the Pixel 8 Pro presently keep Gemini in memory, taking druggies to enable a inventor flag to do so.
Given this new information, some may question whether they want Gemini Nano running on their phone at all. Installing it without restrictions means permanently immolating system memory, potentially affecting the performance of other apps and services. Is that trade- off worth it? It's a question druggies will need to consider precisely.
