Gemini?

Google has announced that it will include the (reprehensible) Gemini in "everything." What are Graphene's plans to deal with this? Anyone know?

If Google can include Gemini in iOS, Linux, FreeBSD, etc., that will be a good trick! Presumably the EU's anti-trust people will get excited.

I suspect it's a marketing claim rather than a contract.

depscribe What are Graphene's plans to deal with this?

I suspect it will depend on what "this" is (which I believe is not known).

If "this" is "Google makes bold general marketing statements", the GrapheneOS project might do nothing
If "this" is "Google adds Gemini to the stock Pixel OS", again "do nothing" might work fine
If "this" is "Google adds Gemini to AOSP", presumably "revert those commits" would likely work
If "this" is "Google adds Gemini to Samsung modem baseband firmware", that might require some planning...?

I am guessing "this" will turn out to be something near the top of my speculative list, in which case my guess is that the GrapheneOS project is likely to do nothing.

Please note that I do not speak for the GrapheneOS project.

What is Gemini?

de0u There's absolutely no chance they'll be putting it into the modem baseband. It fundamentally requires use of the main CPUs, AI accelerator, and data that can only be provided via the OS. Its also extremely unlikely that they'll be putting it into AOSP, because that means losing exclusivity of whatever it does. It'll be added to the G* blobs, and probably can't be supported by GOS because of the sandboxing blocking access to basically everything it requires.

Let's keep the discussion focused on the technical aspect of Gemini as well as how it affects our privacy or security, preferably on GrapheneOS or Android in general. Other comments about the software are not on topic for this forum.

This thread is based on the false premise that something is being done which is negative and requires action from us. That isn't happening. The discussion here hasn't been constructive so far.
