Asking as it seems nobody wants one based on the reception of the Pixel 9
I would if I’d be able to run my own models, it’d be better than having to connect to my server.
But AFAIK these features won’t be available to all developers, so I’m guessing only Google apps will be able to properly use the potential of the phone.
The P9 is supposed to have an on-device image gen model that was touted as being able to be used even without an internet connection
Stock-wise you’re stuck with whatever model Google ships it with, but I’m curious to see what happens when they get out in the wild and rooted. With some luck, the model is stored within Android somewhere (as in not on a special chip or something, which I don’t think it is because I saw a video of its demonstration and they had to download and install the model for the initial setup) and might be able to be swapped out/tinkered with with root. Though that’s probably going to take months or longer depending on how it’s configured/protected
