That makes sense, and yeah I’m with you on the infrastructure side being the real bottleneck. Even if the models could technically run on-device, without the right OS-level support and clean integrations, it’s just clunky. I guess my hesitation is more about how companies might market it as private while still quietly shipping data off-device. But once it’s truly local and usable, I’m all in.

You already can use LLMs that are 100% on device and private on desktop. So I have no doubts that will be an issue on Android. It just isn't computationally there yet on phones. And the whole infrastructure around it doesn't exist yet.

Would you use AI on phone if it was actually good?

If it was actually private and genuinely useful like that, I’d 100% use it. The idea of having a second brain that actually remembers things I forget sounds amazing. But I’d definitely need to feel confident it wasn’t leaking my life to some server somewhere.
