I'm with you on the cloud, but non-cloud AI would be a killer feature if anybody actually offered it. But instead, everything just sends all your data to OpenAI. Yawn. I can do that myself in any web browser.
Samsung talks about on-device AI, but if you look through their footnotes almost everything requires a Samsung account and an active internet connection. It's all cloud shit. Probably OpenAI, but as far as I can tell they don't actually say who their providers are. Perhaps the details are (or will be) buried in a privacy policy somewhere.
Google has Gemini Nano, Microsoft has Phi-2, and on the open-source side there are plenty of 3B or 7B models that can run on a laptop or phone (e.g. Mistral, Falcon, Wizard). Whisper is great for on-device multi-lingual voice-to-text, and there are tons of Stable Diffusion implementations that could run on a high-end smartphone. A Snapdragon 8 gen 3 should be able to run this stuff, unless Qualcomm seriously dropped the ball (remains to be seen).
Some of the "AI" features have been found to be rebrands of the Pixel features - even down to having the same Google terms of service.
