    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.

          It does?

          Pixel Camera (previously known as Google Camera) can take full advantage of the available cameras and image processing hardware as it can on the stock OS and does not require GSF or sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS. Direct TPU and GXP access by Google apps including Pixel Camera is controlled by a toggle added by GrapheneOS and doesn’t provide them with any additional access to data. The toggle exists for attack surface reduction. Every app can use the TPU and GXP via standard APIs including the Android Neural Networks API and Camera2 API regardless.

          TPUs and GXP are what enable apps to do on device ais with whatever model they choose to bring.

            Lol. That’s the hardware. Of course it has access to the device hardware. You still need software. All of Google’s local AI features use Gemini Nano, which absolutely 100% I guarantee you will not ship with GrapheneOS.
