Samsung aren’t saying that they will charge for Galaxy AI feature but the fine print says the following:
“Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties.”
Okay. I use AI for hobbies, like art and getting D&D campaign ideas, so I was waiiting to see what the S24 could bring. Being able to do it locally on my phone would be amazing instead of zipping it off to DALLE or whatever.
I will almost assuredly not be paying for something that should be able to run on the locally on the hardware.
I could be misinformed but that was the whole selling point of Snapdragon 8 gen 3 was its on board NPU, no?
It looks like only the language related functions work locally going by some reports. The picture related editing and the like are online.
Unless there have been some major advancements recently I don’t think much of this is going to be running fully locally.
