It allows users to find, download, and run compatible models that generate images, answer questions, write and edit code, and more. The models run offline, without needing an internet connection, tapping into supported phones\u2019 processors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI models running in the cloud are often more powerful than their local counterparts, but they also have their downsides. Some users might be wary of sending personal or sensitive data to a remote data center, or want to have models available without needing to find a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3064\" height=\"1938\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?w=680\" alt=\"Google AI Edge Gallery\" class=\"wp-image-3013693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png 3064w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=150,95 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=300,190 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=768,486 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=680,430 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=1200,759 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=1280,810 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=430,272 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=720,455 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=900,569 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=800,506 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=1536,972 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=2048,1295 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=668,423 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=593,375 593w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=975,617 975w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/445716698-4f2702d7-91a0-4eb3-aa76-58bc8e7089c6.png?resize=708,448 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3064px) 100vw, 3064px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-element-caption__text\">The welcome screens of the Google AI Edge Gallery app for Android.<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google AI Edge Gallery, which Google is calling an \u201cexperimental Alpha release,\u201d can be downloaded from GitHub by following <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/google-ai-edge\/gallery\/wiki\">these instructions<\/a>.

The Prompt Lab comes with several task templates and configurable settings to fine-tune the models\u2019 behaviors. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your mileage may vary in terms of performance, Google warns. Modern devices with more powerful hardware will predictably run models faster, but the model size also matters. Larger models will take more time to complete a task \u2014 say, answering a question about an image \u2014 than smaller models. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google\u2019s inviting members of the developer community to give feedback on the Google AI Edge Gallery experience. The app is under an Apache 2.0 license, meaning it can be used in most contexts \u2014 commercial or otherwise \u2014 without restriction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
