Google launched the AI Edge Gallery app in 2025, enabling users to run AI models directly on their Android phones without an internet connection. An iOS version is expected soon. This app allows users to download and utilize AI models from platforms like Hugging Face.
The AI Edge Gallery facilitates tasks such as image generation, code editing, and AI chat offline. By processing data on-device, it addresses data privacy concerns and improves accessibility by eliminating reliance on internet connections. The app supports models like Google's Gemma 3 and Alibaba's Qwen 2.5.
Performance varies based on device processing power. Newer phones will run models faster, while larger models may take longer to complete tasks. The app is currently available on GitHub as an experimental alpha release. Google encourages developer feedback to improve future updates.
