Google explains why Android AICore occasionally takes up more storage
Android AICore, which enables on-device AI features like smart replies and summarization, may temporarily use more storage during updates. Google explains that both old and new versions of the Gemini Nano model are kept for up to three days to ensure stability. Once the update is confirmed successful, the older version is automatically deleted to free up space.
- ▪Android AICore allows generative AI features to run locally on Android 14 and higher devices.
- ▪It supports functions such as advanced proofreading, speech recognition, scam detection, smart replies, summarization, and translation.
- ▪When updating, AICore keeps both old and new model versions for up to 3 days as a fail-safe mechanism.
- ▪On-device AI ensures user data remains private, works offline, and provides faster performance without cloud dependency.
- ▪After confirming the new model is stable, the system automatically clears the old version to reclaim storage space.
