Google is pioneering an update, the first of its kind, for the Google Pixel 8 Pro. The update enhances the AI Core application that powers the AI functionalities of the device. This AI Core app operates quietly in the background, processing some of the AI-driven features directly on the device instead of relying on cloud servers and internet connectivity.
Enhancing On-device AI Capabilities
According to a Google Play Store listing that appeared earlier, “AI Core powers Android’s features and provides apps with the latest AI models.” However, the Play Store listing has since been removed. It’s likely that Google plans to make a separate announcement for this addition.
Although the average user may not interact directly with AI Core, it plays a crucial role in improving the overall user experience on the Pixel 8 Pro. The recent update, which takes the app from version 0.release.539035001 to 0.release.582652206, is designed specifically for the Pixel 8 Pro (codenamed “husky”). Pixel phones and tablets have included a placeholder for AI Core since the initial Android 14 update.
If you are using the Pixel 8 Pro, the update should have already been downloaded automatically to your phone and fulfilled its purpose. Currently, this update is reported to be exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro. However, it is expected to reach the Pixel 8, if not older pixel devices with Tensor chips, in the near future.
Some notable applications of the latest core models may include the implementation of features such as ‘Zoom Enhance’ or making Magic Eraser work more quickly. Notably, Samsung has also confirmed the addition of these types of capabilities to their upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S24, referring to it as an “AI phone.”
