Run AI models, generate images, chat, and more—without needing the internet!
In late May 2025, Google quietly released a new experimental app called Google AI Edge Gallery via GitHub. This app is especially exciting for fans of AI technology—particularly Generative AI—who want to run powerful AI tools offline directly on their Android devices. (An iOS version is reportedly coming soon.)
Key Features of Google AI Edge Gallery
Offline AI Inference Once you download a model, everything runs locally on your phone’s chip, with no need for an internet connection.
Model Flexibility Easily switch between models, including various Hugging Face models and Google’s own Gemma 3n.
Ask Image Upload a photo and ask questions about it. The app can describe, identify objects, or analyze images.
Prompt Lab Summarize text, rewrite content, or generate code using short prompts—perfect for exploring each model's capabilities.
AI Chat Have multi-turn conversations with AI, much like chatting with a virtual assistant or chatbot.
Real-Time Performance Monitoring View performance metrics such as time-to-first-token (TTFT), latency, and decoding speed live on your device.
Custom Model Support Developers can load their own .task files to test LiteRT-compatible models on-device.
Developer Tools Access model cards and source code links for in-depth technical study and integration.
Why Try Google AI Edge Gallery?
While cloud-based AI models offer superior power, on-device AI has distinct advantages:
More privacy & security – No need to send data to external servers
Offline capability – Use AI features even without Wi-Fi or mobile signal
Great for developers & AI enthusiasts – A hands-on way to test models and applications
Available Now on GitHub
Google has released this experimental alpha version of the app on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing full use in both personal and commercial projects. The open-source approach also encourages community feedback, bug reports, and contributions from developers.
A New Chapter for Offline Generative AI
Google AI Edge Gallery marks a new step forward in making on-device AI more accessible, private, and flexible. It's no longer just about powerful cloud servers—now anyone with a mobile device can explore cutting-edge AI tools, completely offline.
If you're curious about the future of offline generative AI, this is one app you don't want to miss!
