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.
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.
Presumably the GOS devs. And anyone who owns a P9x.
Yeah, that’s why I ask. Some of this stuff works already. The on-device AI in Gboard is incredible. As is the spam detection in GMessages.
Source? There’s no way any of the offline stuff works.

So this says absolutely nothing about on device AI…
It does?

You’re wrong. They already ship with GOS.
Prove it. Show me Gemini Nano in GOS. I’ll wait…
I can’t show you, there isn’t some pop-up that tells you that it’s working, it’s a background process.
