What does on-device AI cost per request?
“There is no cloud token bill on the on-device path. Apple Foundation Models and Gemini Nano run on the user’s device, so the platform charges nothing per request. Plan for the boundaries anyway: device coverage varies, platforms can impose quotas, and the cloud fallback still needs a budget.”
View in the company profileWhich devices support on-device AI?
“Apple Intelligence needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, plus recent iPads and Macs. On Android, Gemini Nano runs on recent flagship devices. We design every feature with a fallback path for devices that do not qualify.”
View in the company profileIs on-device AI enough, or do we still need a cloud model?
“It depends on the feature. On-device models are small. They handle summaries, drafting, classification, extraction, and guided flows well. Heavier reasoning still belongs in a cloud model. Most products end up hybrid: on-device first, cloud where needed, with clear user consent.”
