Google says the Pixel 8 will get its new AI model, but RAM usage is a concern

Google wants AI models to be loaded 24/7, so 8GB of RAM might not be enough.

@arstechnica Would probably have to be something like 24GB as a realistic minimum. I can see why they'd need them loaded all the time though. It takes a little bit to load a LLM from a SSD with a fast desktop PC. A smartphone/tablet could be near useless if it only loaded on demand.

I guess it goes without saying this whole thing is just going to wreck battery life. And it's still probably going to phone home with insanely private info.

Apple users take note, Apple has similar plans.

@arstechnica I hope there will be a way to get rid of it.

@arstechnica can't wait until they try to put this into a multimillion dollar airplane and then are surprised that they don't get it airworthy.
