You should not use google software to do things FOSS already does better
Really you shouldn't use any google software
It's Apache 2.0 licensed. It's FOSS.
You know I think I was pretty clear that "FOSS that isn't Google" was the goal here. If that's not clear, the goal is to not use Google software when there are non-Google FOSS alternatives.
If you need further explanation let me know.
It's not FOSS. Because a corporate never gives stuff for free without benefit for itself.

This is an experimental Alpha release, and your input is crucial!
How does this compare to ollama?
I don't think ollama can run locally on your phone, only as a client to your computer. This one appears to run entirely on a phone.
Seems like a bad idea to run a LLM on a phone.
Maybe they want to showcase their AI chips running compact models on their Pixel phones. It would almost certainly be a bad idea on my phone...
