Google has reversed its decision and will bring Gemini Nano AI to the Pixel 8 in the next Feature Drop, despite earlier stating hardware limitations. This move will enhance the device's AI capabilities, including smart reply and recording summarization functions. Users of the base Pixel 8 will now have access to Gemini Nano as a developer preview in a future update, allowing on-device AI tasks and features without requiring a network connection. The decision follows Google's acknowledgment of user demand and the need to overcome previous hardware constraints.
