I Built a fully offline AI Image Upscaler for Android that runs entirely on-device (GPU/CPU support). No servers, 100% private.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Rendrflow. I noticed that most AI upscalers require uploading photos to a cloud server, which raises privacy concerns and requires a constant internet connection. I wanted to build a solution that harnesses the power of modern Android hardware to run these models locally on the device. HOW IT WORKS The app runs AI upscaling models directly on your phone. Because it's local, no data ever leaves your device. I implemented a few different processing modes to handle different hardware capabilities: CPU Mode: For compatibility. GPU & GPU Burst Mode: Accelerated processing for faster inference on supported devices. KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES Upscaling: Support for 2x, 4x, and 8x scaling using High and Ultra models. Privacy: Co...

Schools across the U.S. are rolling out AI-powered surveillance technology, including drones, facial recognition and even bathroom listening devices

The surveillance fostered an atmosphere of distrust: 32% of 14 to 18-year-old students surveyed said they felt like they were always being watched. In focus groups run by the ACLU, students said they felt less comfortable alerting educators to mental health issues and physical abuse. Marlow argues that’s a lousy tradeoff. “Because kids don't trust people they view as spying on them, it ruptures trust and actually makes things less safe,” he said. submitted by /u/tekz [link] [comments]
