📰 Breaking News: Google Just Quiet-Dropped a Wild New AI App—Here’s What It Means

While everyone was watching the shiny stuff at I/O, Google quietly launched something that might actually change the game…

It’s called Project IDX Companion, and it lets you download and run AI models locally on your Android phone. No cloud. No lag. Just pure, on-device AI firepower.

Here’s why this matters (a lot):

• You can now fine-tune and run your own AI models—without touching the cloud

• It works with open-source models like Gemma

• More privacy, faster speed, and less dependency on internet

• Built for devs, hackers, and everyday tinkerers looking to level up

Bottom line? Google just gave the everyday creator a mini AI lab in their pocket—and barely said a word.

Keep an eye on this one. Local AI is how we go from hype to reality.
