The source code for Android 16 is now available, but OEMs like Samsung and Xiaomi have already had early access. Here's what that means.

Google quietly launched AI Edge Gallery, an experimental Android app that runs AI models offline without internet, bringing Hugging Face models directly to smartphones with enhanced privacy.

Google has denied that, but the Pixel change does look to be intentional. On Tuesday, Google released Android 16’s source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
