Google shifts LLM inference from MediaPipe to LiteRT-LM

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's MediaPipe LLM Inference API for Android, iOS, and Web is now in maintenance mode, with new development focused on LiteRT-LM. Developers are advised to migrate to LiteRT-LM, Google's runtime for on-device language models. The new API offers a smaller Kotlin interface for loading models and managing conversations, with version 0.18.0 currently available. Models, including Gemma builds, can be found via the LiteRT Community organization on Hugging Face, with a focus on smaller, CPU-friendly quantizations for mobile use. AI

IMPACT Developers will need to update their applications to use LiteRT-LM for on-device LLM inference, impacting mobile AI integration.

    MediaPipe LLM Inference is maintenance-only: start on LiteRT-LM (and add this ABI check)

    <p>Running a language model on the phone itself is the most private option you have and the most demanding. The model file is large, it needs memory while it runs, and it turns battery into words. In return, the feature works in airplane mode on most recent 64-bit phones, and you…
