LiteRT, which was formerly called TensorFlow Lite, is a sophisticated runtime created by Google that delivers enhanced performance for artificial intelligence on various devices. This innovative platform allows developers to effortlessly deploy machine learning models across numerous devices and microcontrollers. It supports models from leading frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX, converting them into the FlatBuffers format (.tflite) to ensure optimal inference efficiency. Among its key features are low latency, enhanced privacy through local data processing, compact model and binary sizes, and effective power management strategies. Additionally, LiteRT offers SDKs in a variety of programming languages, including Java/Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C++, and Python, facilitating easier integration into diverse applications. To boost performance on compatible devices, the runtime employs hardware acceleration through delegates like GPU and iOS Core ML. The anticipated LiteRT Next, currently in its alpha phase, is set to introduce a new suite of APIs aimed at simplifying on-device hardware acceleration, pushing the limits of mobile AI even further. With these forthcoming enhancements, developers can look forward to improved integration and significant performance gains in their applications, thereby revolutionizing how AI is implemented on mobile platforms.

Meet Gemma 3n, our state-of-the-art open multimodal model engineered for exceptional performance and efficiency on devices. Emphasizing responsive and low-footprint local inference, Gemma 3n sets the stage for a new era of intelligent applications that can be deployed while on the go. It possesses the ability to interpret and react to a combination of images and text, with upcoming plans to add video and audio capabilities shortly. This allows developers to build smart, interactive functionalities that uphold user privacy and operate smoothly without relying on an internet connection. The model features a mobile-centric design that significantly reduces memory consumption. Jointly developed by Google's mobile hardware teams and industry specialists, it maintains a 4B active memory footprint while providing the option to create submodels for enhanced quality and reduced latency. Furthermore, Gemma 3n is our first open model constructed on this groundbreaking shared architecture, allowing developers to begin experimenting with this sophisticated technology today in its initial preview. As the landscape of technology continues to evolve, we foresee an array of innovative applications emerging from this powerful framework, further expanding its potential in various domains. The future looks promising as more features and enhancements are anticipated to enrich the user experience.
