The Gemma models really are amazing. I was on a flight a few days ago and used E2B to do some basic research on the place I was going to, running the model locally on my Pixel 10 Pro. It gave me basically the same as Gemini or ChatGPT would do when I landed

I'm very surprised by this, in my tests E2B has very limited general knowledge.

It was genuinely outstanding for a tiny local model. I'm in Marrakech and it gave 3 separate one-day itineraries that contained most of the same stuff I got from Gemini when I landed. I followed up to ask specifically about souks (markers/bazaars) and it listed the main ones and what types of products you can get from each.

May I ask what setup you used to run it on your phone and if it's satisfactory (it sounds like it)?

Edge Gallery, which is a bloody terrible name for an app by the way

I haven't tried E2B but E4B isn't particularly better than the old Gemma3 4B model(which was already very good at multilingual and decent at other tasks) but the voice recognition is a nice addition.

Do you see a real difference with AI agents working together
