Overview
Google AI Edge Gallery is a Kotlin app for Android and iOS, with a macOS download, that runs open models on-device through LiteRT. It bundles chat with speech input and output, image questions, audio transcription, prompt testing, agent skills and on-device semantic media search. Models come from Hugging Face or are loaded as custom files, and can be benchmarked on the device.
Who it is for: Mobile users and developers testing on-device LLMs on phones
