Android can do satellite messaging? Android phone makers are shipping on device LLMs?

I'm not an Apple fanboy nor do I use an iPhone currently but this headline is ridiculous.

Android phone makers are shipping on device LLMs?

Do people actually want these?

Yes, in fact that is the only kind of ai i would ever use and entrust my data to. Not the apple one, but an open source model that is running only on my device and answering only to me; using the data I provide only for my interests? That one I would use.

I bet these LLM models wont be 100% locally hosted. I imagine some form of data will be piped back to a cloud server

LLM is AI correct? If my phone is going to do AI at all, I prefer it be done on device for sure. For privacy reasons if nothing else. But it's not anything I've really looked into. I have the S24 and the only AI feature I use is the Circle to search... which I don't consider to be AI.

LLM is a form of AI, specifically the text AIs like ChatGPT that have suddenly made "AI" a dinner table term. AI in some form or another is almost definitely being used in your device - even for things like filling in gaps in low-quality voice calls, and probably has been for a while. But the problem is that unlike those "old" AIs, LLMs require some significant power to run, so running them on phones will probably require meaningful trade-offs. But the increased security is also a meaningful benefit.

They add a kinda nifty "copy subject" option that is supposedly local AI stuff to the samsung gallery, fun to mess with
