Do you genuinely think a “frequency” is what makes a human voice recognizable? That’s like using someone’s face in an app and then saying “how can you steal pixels?”

The description says it's private, but the legalese it makes you agree to makes no promise. Rather, the opposite: > We collect information about your activity in our services Source: https://policies.google.com/privacy#infocollect

The app is open source[0], although given Apple's stance on sideloading it's hard to confirm if you're using the open version.

You can’t steal pixels or frequencies. But you can use someone’s image or their voice to sell your product without their permission.

You can get all existential about it if you want - I just know that if someone used my face or my voice to shill for a product without my permission i’d be pissed. I’m pretty sure you would be too.

Still didnt release training recipe, data, methodology etc unlike deepseek. Mostly released to get developer ecosystem across their android built in ai. Still good and interesting, but not exactly philanthropic to the open source progress.

Extremely impressed by how fast responses are on iPhone 17 Pro Max. Can’t wait for this to be used for Siri’s brain one of these days (hopefully!)

This is awesome! 1) I am able to run the model on my iPhone and get good results. Not as good as Gemini in the cloud, but good. 2) I love the “mobile actions” tool calls that allow the LLM to turn on the flashlight, open maps, etc. It would be fun if they added Siri Shortcuts support. I want the personal automation that Apple promised but never delivered. 3) I am so excited for local models to be normalized. I build…

For me the hallucination and gaslighting is like taking a step back in time a couple of years. It even fails the “r’s in strawberry” question. How nostalgic. It’s very impressive that this can run locally. And I hope we will continue to be able to run couple-year-old-equivalent models locally going forward.

With reasoning on I found E4B to be solid, but E2B was completely unusable across several tests.

I find it odd they are using the term “edge” to brand this, if it’s target is the general public.

I’ve been to a few tech conferences and saw the term used there for the first time. It took me a little bit to see the pattern and understand what it meant. I have never heard the term used outside of those circles. It seems like “local” would be the term average users would be familiar with. Normal people don’t call their stuff “edge devices”.

I’d be pissed if my code was used for training an AI too but that seems legal thus far…
