OnePlus 13 Update & Gemini Nano

Unlike the incremental changes and tweaks on the OnePlus 13R, the OnePlus 13 is getting a major update that brings support for Gemini Nano (via Android Authority). This is the smallest version of Google’s larger language model (LLM). Gemini Nano is an on-device AI model that can perform various useful features like search, circle to search, text summarization, and much more.

The premium phone is getting its first OxyenOS 15 update with the CPH2655_15.0.0.402(EX01) build number. This update is around 1GB in size. To check if you’ve received the update, users can head to Settings > System and updates > Software update and finally tap on Download and Install if the update is available. For those unaware, the Gemini Nano from Google requires Android AICore app. So after installing the update, it should appear in the Google Play Store.

This is undoubtedly a major feature of the OnePlus 13, which brings on-device LLM. Typically, one would require access to the internet to make use of AI features. However, an internet connection isn’t required for the Gemini Nano. The AICore app on the OnePlus 13 takes over 3GB of space. While it is the smallest LLM, you still get access to AI powered features like smart replies and text summarization.

Google Pixel 8 owners have something to rejoice. The search giant’s LLM AI model is confirmed to be available on the device. Initially, the company had revealed that the mobile-friendly and smallest version of Gemini Nano would be limited to the Pixel 8 Pro. Google’s vague response to the lack of support for AI model also enraged Pixel 8 owners.

Google Pixel 8 will get Gemini Nano

Hardware limitations were cited to be the main reason for the lack of support for Gemini Nano on the Pixel 8. This was perplexing as the only difference between the standard and pro variant of the device is in the RAM capacity. Both phones are powered by the Tensor G3 chipset but the Pixel 8 has 8GB RAM whereas the pro model maxes out at 12GB. Notably, the AI model also runs on the base Samsung Galaxy S24 variant.

In a statement to Android Authority, Google confirmed that Gemini Nano will make its way to all Pixel 8 units. The search giant stated that large language models on phones with different memory can deliver different user experiences. They seem to have found a method to LLM on the Pixel 8 by testing intensely.

Gemini Nano will be available as a Developer Preview with the next Pixel Feature Drop update that is expected in June. The developer options can be accessed through Settings > About Phone and taping on the build number seven times. The LLM model will enable two features on the Pixel 8 – summarize recordings by generating bullet points and Gboard Smart Reply promising faster and conversational-awareness responses.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 Pro will get extended features and benefits of the Gemini Nano.

Google’s Pixel 8 and 8 Pro pack nearly the same hardware except the RAM capacity. Now, the search giant has revealed some unfortunate news for the Pixel 8. The standard variant won’t be getting Gemini Nano, the smallest version of the company’s AI model that was announced last December. This is a bummer for owners of the Pixel 8 who were hoping to get the mobile-friendly LLM on their device.

Google confirms no Gemini Nano on the Pixel 8

Google made a confirmation about the lack of Gemini Nano on the Pixel 8 in a recent episode of The Android Show on the Android Developers channel. Terence Zhang, a developer relations engineer at Google reveals that this is because of the hardware limitations of the smartphone. He does not detail in to what those limitations are but the only difference between the standard and pro variants of the Pixel 8 is that the former packs 8GB RAM whereas the latter has 12GB.

Gemini Nano runs on the Pixel 8 Pro and the Galaxy S24 series. The AI model offers features like Summarize in the Recorder app, Smart Reply in Gboard, WhatsApp, and photography enhancements without network connection. The lack of the AI model on the standard variant has made the gap between the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro greater. If you’re considering buying Pixel 8 device, you might want to keep this thing in mind.

Google also confirmed that it is working on extending the Gemini Nano’s compatibility to more high-end devices. Recently chipmaker MediaTek also announced its partnership with Google to optimize Gemini Nano for the Dimensiy 9300 and 8300 chips. Additionally, the search giant also outlined its plans to integrate Gemini into Android smartphones starting in 2025.

Google has been steadily adding new features to its AI chatbot, the Google Bard. However, it has not been a tough competitor for ChatGPT and other AI chatbots that are equipped with GPT-3 and GPT-4. Google has now revealed that the Gemini Pro, a brand-new AI model from Google, is now powering the Bard.

According to Google, the Gemini is the company’s most capable AI model that it has ever built. Built to run on systems like data centres to mobile devices, it can seamlessly process and integrate text, code, audio, images, and videos, making it a versatile AI model.

Google Gemini 1.0 can understand complex information and answer related questions due to its multimodal capabilities, and it comes in three distinct sizes: Gemini Ultra for demanding tasks, Gemini Pro for versatile usage, and Gemini Nano for streamlined on-device operations.

The Google Bard has now received its biggest upgrade as it is now updated with Gemini Pro, which means it can do more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding, and so on. It will be available in English in more than 170 countries and territories. The Pixel 8 Pro will soon receive an update to run Gemini Nano, which will bring features like Summarize in the Recorder app, Smart Reply in Gboard, and WhatsApp.

Speaking of Gemini Ultra, it can perform a wide range of tasks, including natural image, audio, and video understanding, mathematical reasoning, and multimodal problem-solving. According to Google, it has surpassed human experts on MMLU, a benchmark that assesses both knowledge and problem-solving abilities, and achieved an exceptional score on MMMU, a multimodal reasoning benchmark. Additionally, Ultra has outperformed previous models on image benchmarks without the need for object character recognition, showcasing its native multimodality and complex reasoning capabilities.

Google plans to make Gemini Ultra available to a select group of users for early testing and feedback before a broader rollout to developers and enterprise customers in early 2024. Additionally, Bard Advanced, a new AI experience powered by Gemini Ultra, will be launching in early 2024 to provide users with access to cutting-edge capabilities.

In addition, Google has introduced Cloud TPU v5p, the most powerful TPU system to date, enabling faster training of large-scale generative AI models and accelerating the development of new products and capabilities. To safeguard against harmful content, Gemini employs dedicated safety classifiers to identify, label, and filter out harmful content, such as violence and negative stereotypes. This layered approach ensures Gemini’s safety and inclusivity for all users.
