If you use Apple's Foundational Models inside the Shortcuts App you may find the responses generic. That's because language models on device hit hardware limits.

To solve, you can switch to using Private Cloud Compute in a couple of taps. Resulting in more accurate responses!

Building your own Generative AI workflows on your iPhone is simple as a few taps using the Shortcuts App.

Super useful if you're looking to prototype what is possible using Apple's foundational models without writing a line of code.

It's just over a year since attending Google's Gemma Developer Day. I recall learning Gemma was designed as an Open Source model and envisioned to work with developers and researchers on their preferred tech. 🤝 💻

Now with Gemma 3 available I'm thinking of revisiting it. 🤖📱

This week I attended the January edition of Londroid in the wise offices. 💸 🤖 🌎

As usual I was connecting with the Android community and also keen to learn something new. I certainly learnt and a thing or two, and wanted to share some of the knowledge from the evening.

Made a little bit more progress with Android XR. This time adding compose navigation and media3 / exoplayer linking to a video url. It's starting to look like an app! 😀

Playing about with textures, lighting & shaders in Unity. I came up with this still life, which shows off a custom shader graph I built to rapidly change the color of a few objects! 🌈 🕹️

New Year, New Platform, New Fun! 🎆

Initial thoughts on AndroidXR are positive. Very quick to get setup with a fresh project and the emulator does a good job of providing feedback. 🥽

Will carry on playing and see how far I get.💡

This week I was back in the Just Eat UK offices for another edition of Londroid! 🍔 📣 🤖

The speakers were top notch and included a project building a guitar pedal using a Raspberry Pi, as well as tips when working with compose.

Attended Google's Gemma Developer Day at their King's Cross office this week. Saw demos of their new models running across laptops, mobile devices and inside a web app! 💻📱🕸️

I left feeling there wasn't enough emphasis on responsible use as the Gen AI hype continues. 😬

Last week I attended the first NSLondon of 2024 hosted by The Trainline. Continuing to learn and also catching up with mobile engineers in the iOS community 📱🚆😃

A few pictures from Serverless London Meetup over in the Motorway offices.

Learnt about AWS Bedrock, A ChatGPT chatbot giving unexpected answers to Chevolet customers and a new way of building cloud architecture called Application Architecture as Code.
