    So if the boost is happening on Google servers, it’s tied to the Pixel 8 pro as a sales gimmick?

      Rumors say it was intended to be on-device originally but the chip just wasn’t capable enough. I guess they settled for gate keeping it to their flagship device anyway.

      yep. I don’t think the Pixel 8’s AI capabilities are much more powerful than the 7. Most of the new features they advertised are offloaded to the servers.
