Google is expanding access to its on-device AI model, Gemini Nano, through new ML Kit GenAI APIs. These APIs, likely to be announced at I/O 2025, will let developers easily add features like text summarization, proofreading, rewriting, and image description generation to their Android apps. Unlike the experimental AI Edge SDK, the GenAI APIs will be in beta, support image input, and work on a wider range of Android devices beyond the Pixel 9 series, prioritizing user privacy by keeping data processing local. Developers can access the public documentation now.
