Modern Android phones are powerful enough to run 16x AI Upscaling locally, yet most apps force you to the cloud. So I built an offline, GPU-accelerated alternative.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I have been working on to bring high-quality super-resolution models directly to Android devices without relying on cloud processing. I have developed RendrFlow, a complete AI image utility belt designed to perform heavy processing entirely on-device. The Tech Stack (Under the Hood): Instead of relying on an internet connection, the app runs the inference locally. I have implemented a few specific features to manage the load: - Hardware Acceleration: You can toggle between CPU, GPU, and a specific "GPU Burst" mode to maximize throughput for heavier models. - The Models: It supports 2x, 4x, and even 16x Super-Resolution upscaling using High and Ultra quality models. - Privacy: Because there is no backend server, it works in Airplane mode.

Google went from being

Google went from being “disrupted” by ChatGPT, to having the best LLM as well as rivalling Nvidia in hardware (TPUs). The narrative has changed

The public narrative around Google has changed significantly over the past 1 year. (I say public, because people who were closely following google probably saw this coming). Since Google's revenue primarily comes from ads, LLMs eating up that market share questioned their future revenue potential. Then there was this whole saga of selling the Chrome browser. But they made a great comeback with the Gemini 3 and also TPUs being used for training it. Now the narrative is that Google is the best position company in the AI era. submitted by /u/No_Turnip_1023 [link] [comments]

Z.ai (creators of GLM) have released an open weight image generation model that is showing benchmark performance competitive with leading models like Nano Banana 2. "GLM-Image is an image generation model adopts a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion decoder architecture. In general image generation quality, GLM‑Image aligns with mainstream latent diffusion approaches, but it shows significant advantages in text-rendering and knowledge‑intensive generation scenarios. It performs especially well in tasks requiring precise semantic understanding and complex information expression, while maintaining strong capabilities in high‑fidelity and fine‑grained detail generation. In addition to text‑to‑image generation, GLM‑Image also supports a rich set of image‑to‑image tasks including image edit...

Jeff Bezos Says the AI Bubble is Like the Industrial Bubble

Jeff Bezos: financial bubbles like 2008 are just bad. Industrial bubbles, like biotech in the 90s, can actually benefit society. AI is an industrial bubble, not a financial bubble – and that's an important distinction. Investors may lose money, but when the dust settles, we still get the inventions. submitted by /u/SunAdvanced7940 [link] [comments]
Beyond the Transformer: Why localized context windows are the next bottleneck for AGI.

Beyond the Transformer: Why localized context windows are the next bottleneck for AGI.

Everyone is chasing larger context windows (1M+), but the retrieval accuracy (Needle In A Haystack) is still sub-optimal for professional use. I’m theorizing that we’re hitting a physical limit of the Transformer architecture. The future isn't a "bigger window," but a better "active memory" management at the infrastructure level. I’d love to hear some thoughts on RAG-Hybrid architectures vs. native long-context models. Which one actually scales for enterprise knowledge bases? submitted by /u/Foreign-Job-8717 [link] [comments]
