The super privacy-focused third-party ROM, GrapheneOS now officially supports the Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL.
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.

Source? There’s no way any of the offline stuff works.
There isn’t a chance in hell you’re getting Gemini Nano outside of the stock ROM.
Because Google is a monopolistic piece of shit and they try to lock you in to their shitty, privacy-invasive ecosystem. In my opinion it’s like a hundred times worse than Apple. Only Google hardware (phones and tablets) are worth buying, but only for the strong hardware security features, definitely not for the stupid proprietary software they come with by default.
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.
Ollama isn’t a model. It is a software that allows you to run llms and query them in layer 7
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 was fast!
