Made it to Lisbon!

But as we took off at 7am I had a brilliant idea: Why not add another 30 slides to make a point? Improv time!

See you at 14:10 on track 1!

Sideloading apps, installing custom roms and overclocking cheap phones is how I got into this in the first place.

Android survived so far without removing sideloading, it's not like it would die otherwise. This is a mistake.

This week I found out this niche of "Soul/Motown/Blues" AI covers on Youtube and I have to tell you, to me this is the Musical Turing Test, and they passed it.

These songs hit hard!

Just got out of @zsmb.co Droidcon talk on Compose's Hot Reload, and I'm really impressed.

It now looks and feels like a solid product. Also, super interesting to see some of the work that happens under the hood to make it seamless.

Shows a lot of the platform's commitment to DEVEX.

Has anyone ever heard of tombstone files?

I can't believe I never heard about this before after so many years. Also, I wish I didn't.

I was supposed to arrive in Lisbon yesterday, but missed a connection due to a delayed flight.

Leaving Paris now. Long day ahead 😅

I'm happy to share I'll be speaking at Droidcon Lisbon next month! If you're interested about on-device Gen-AI you'll like this one.

The plan is to dig into how LLMs actually work and bridge to the tools that enable on‑device inference.

Also down for a pastel de nata + coffee if you’re around 🇵🇹

Seems to be a lot of talk about Haze and Liquid Glass…

At its core, Haze is a background content transform library, and the ‘visual effect’ (blurring, etc) is just an implementation detail.

Liquid Glass will be a runtime shader like others which Haze already uses.

Apple sitting out of the whole AI assistant wars is nuts.

Apple's new on-device solution is kinda like Google's AI Edge SDK, but as usual, less fragmented.

Now, WTH are they comparing their model to Gemma 1 when Gemma 3 is out since March?
I'm guessing their model is still quite basic. Lets see.

Wireless debugging is actually happening this time!
Indeed, we improved every parts of ADB Wifi pipeline. Besides support in Studio, you need ADB 36.0.1 (to be released soon) and Android 16.

AS new Agent Mode can understand Gradle structure and use IDE features.

This will really set AS apart from alternatives which have no idea about kotlin/gradle context.

Really good to see investment on that front!
(There's also a ton more stuff. Huge release!)

Union types + Rich Errors

Still not clear to me how union types will work (typescript PSTD), but Im all in for rich errors

Google I/O update:

New Gemma 3n, a 4B* model getting close to Sonnet 3.7 is both mindblowing and inevitable.
