"Before I show you how to disable AICore to reclaim space, it's probably a good idea to understand what this feature does. AICore is all about self-hosted AI models, such as Gemini Nano. Those models take up space (in some cases, lots of space). Those Large Language Models (LLMs) are used for features such as Magic Composer, Pixel Studio, Call Notes, Pixel Screenshots, smart replies, summarizing audio, and understanding images and sounds."
"Those Large Language Models (LLMs) are used for features such as Magic Composer, Pixel Studio, Call Notes, Pixel Screenshots, smart replies, summarizing audio, and understanding images and sounds. AICore is responsible for two tasks: keeping the AI model up to date and connecting it to various apps. AICore not only takes up a lot of space but can also be found guilty of consuming too much system memory and battery power."
AICore hosts self-contained AI models (like Gemini Nano) on Pixel phones, with models occupying substantial storage. Those models power features including Magic Composer, Pixel Studio, Call Notes, Pixel Screenshots, smart replies, audio summarization, and image and sound understanding. AICore handles model updates and app integrations. AICore consumes storage, system memory, and battery power and can trigger frequent AI notifications. Disabling AICore cannot remove it completely but can free up to around 10GB and recover significant space. Disabling AICore can yield slight performance and battery improvements while preserving access to AI features.
