“MediaTek’s partnership with Google highlights a shared vision for bringing Generative AI experiences across the Android ecosystem and represents a significant advancement in running complex AI models on-device,” stated MediaTek.
Gemini Nano has become available on more devices over the past few months. The multimodal Gemini Nano made its debut on the Pixel 9 series, powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, and is utilised for features such as Pixel Recorder. With the help of multimodal AI, Google’s Generative AI can operate on a smaller scale across devices.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset is set to launch in October. The upcoming Dimensity 9400 will feature a new 8th generation Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that offers hardware acceleration for text, image, and speech processing. According to the announcement, it appears that the Dimensity 9400 will not be the only chip with this support; devices running on MediaTek’s existing and future chips will also have compatibility.
