everything happens on the device, these features feel fast and can work even without internet access.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Cloud AI for Advanced Features<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud AI runs on powerful remote servers and is better for tasks that need more processing power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li

assistants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These features often require more computing power than a mobile device can provide on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Decide Which One to Use<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of choosing one option for the entire app, look at each feature separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Does It Need Instant Responses?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If users expect immediate results, on-device AI is usually the better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Face unlock<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:

Capabilities?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the feature relies on powerful AI models, cloud AI is usually the better option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI chatbots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:
